Answer:

2.67 minutes per page or 22 1/2 pages in one hour.

Explanation:

First, let's figure out how many minutes are in 3/5 of an hour:

An hour = 60 minutes

60/5 = 12

12 * 3 = 36 minutes

Nikkia read 13.5 pages in 36 minutes.

The question isn't very clear, but I believe you are trying to solve how long it takes her to read one page.

If we divide 36 by 13.5, we will get the solution of how long it takes Nikkia to read on page.

36 / 13.5 = 2.6666666 and so forth.

We can round this to about 2.67 minutes per page.

If you are trying to solve for the amount of pages she reads in an hour, then you must divide 13.5 by 3.

13.5 / 3 = 4.5

Then if we multiply the amount by 5, we can get our answer of how many pages she can read within an hour.

4.5 * 5 = 22.5

Nikkia can read 22 1/2 pages in one hour.
