Doug read 231 pages in 7 hours.he read the same number of pages each hour.how many pages did he read in 1 hour

Answer 1

If we let $p$ be the number of pages read in 1 hour, then in 7 hours Doug reads $7p$ pages. We know that this number of pages is 231, so we have

$7p=231 \iff p = \dfrac{231}{7} = 33$
