Answer:

6 minutes and 40 seconds

Explanation:

Firstly, I have to make an expression to help me find the answer.

This is the expression: 45/36=8/x.

Since 45 pages is equivalent to 8 minutes, then 36 pages is equivalent to x minutes.

This is the formula we have to follow.

We have to first do 36 times 8 which gets us 288.

Then we have to divide that by 45 to get our answer.

Our final answer is 6.4 which translates to 6 minutes and 40 seconds
