Answer:

Greg reads 2 pages per minute.

Explanation:

In order to figure out how many pages per ONE minute Greg reads, you have to figure out how to make 1 minute into 20 using multiplication.

1 minute x 20 = 20 minutes

So if this is the case, we have to divide 40 by 20 because thats what you had to multiply to 1.

40 pages ÷ 20 = 2 pages

To check this, multiply 2 by 20.

2 pages x 20 = 40 pages.

Let me know if you need anymore help!
