Question

If Becky reads at a rate of p pages per hour for a total of h hours, which of the following represents the total number of pages that Becky reads?

Select one:
A. ph
B. ph
C. hp
D. ph
E. p + h

Answer 1

We are looking for the total number of pages Becky reads, which is dependent on how many hours she reads for. So, we should multiply the number of pages she reads by the number of hours.

The correct answer is p x h or h x p. As long as these two values are multiplied, there is no difference in the order of the values.

Hope this helps!! :)
