Alejandro read 4 pages in 6 minutes, then it would take him 9 minutes to read 6 pages

Solution:

Given that Alejandro read 4 pages in a book in 6 minutes

Therefore,

4 pages = 6 minutes

Let us find the time taken to read 1 page

time taken to read 1 page = time taken to read 4 pages divided by 4


\text{ time taken to read 1 page } = (6 minutes)/(4) = (3)/(2) minutes

Thus to read 6 pages at this rate, multiply time taken to read 1 page by 6


\rightarrow (3)/(2) * 6 = 9

Therefore it would take 9 minutes to read 6 pages
