E. 48

Answer 1

C. 36

Explanation:

`time \: in \: hours \\ = 2 + (40)/(60) \\ \\ = 2 + (2)/(3) \\ \\ = (8)/(3) \: hrs \\ \\ rate \: of \: reading = (96)/( (8)/(3)) \\ \\ = (96 * 3)/(8) \\ \\ = 12 * 3 \\ \\ = 36 \: pages \: per \: hour`

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

Average rate = page/hour

2 hours and 40 minutes into hours is 2.67 hours.

Average rate = 96/2.67

Average rate = 36
