Question

Kaylee read 19 1/2 pages in 3/4 of an hour. If she continues reading at the same rate,

how many pages will she read in an hour?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 26.

Explanation:

Simple, find the unit rate. That's 19.5 / 0.75 = 26.

or using fractions:

19 2/4 divided by 3/4

78/4 divided by 3/4

78 / 3 = 26

4 / 4 = 1

Unit rate = 26books/1 hour
