Answer:

He will read 92 pages in an hour going by the current rate at which he reads

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Jamil found that he reads 1/5 of his 115 - page book in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate how many pages does he read in an hour

We proceed as follows;

If he reads 1/5 of 115 in 1/4 hour

1/5 of 115 pages refer to 1/5 * 115 = 23 pages

This means that he reads 23 pages in quarter of an hour

So in an hours the number of pages he will read will be 23 * 4 = 92 pages
