Answer:

12 pages

Explanation:

This is a fairly straight forward question.

Sam read 6 pages in 18 minutes, and we want to know how many pages he could have finished if he read for 36 minutes.

36 minutes is double the time of 18 minutes.

So we just have to double the 6 pages Sam read into 12 pages and that is the answer.
