Answer:

67.5

Explanation:

this gives you the basis of the problem, 2 pages every 3 minutes, so that means that you have to divide 45 by 2, this will give you 22.5

then you multiply by 3 because 22.5 is how many sets of 2 Ella has to read, and if we remember every set of 2 pages takes 3 minutes, so 22.5 times 3 is 67.5, but if you want the answer in time it would be 67 minutes and 30 seconds because a minute is 60 seconds and half of that is 30
