Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Clare will not take a break throughout the session

10 books=1 minute

750 books= x minutes

Cross multiplying to find the value of x

10x books=750 books minutes

Making x the subject

x=750 books minutes/(10 books)

x=75 minutes

This translates to 1 hours and 15 minutes

Therefore, Clare will require 75 minutes
