Answer:

C. 6 hours

Explanation:

So we have the ratio of 15 pages to 2 hours. To find how long it will take him to read 45 pages, divide 45 by 15 to find what 15 was multiplied by.

45/15 = 3.

Because the answer is 3, multiply the 2 hours by 3 as well.

2 x 3 = 6.

Therefore, it will take Don 6 hours to read 45 pages.

Hope this helps!! Ask questions if you need!
