First of all, find how many sentences are in 17 pages. If in one page there are 120 sentences, in 17...

17*120 = 2040 sentences.

Now, she can read 14 sentences in one minute, how many minutes to read 2040 sentences?

2040 : 14 = 145,71 minutes (about 146 mins).

So, in an hour there are 60 minutes

146 : 60 = 2,42 hours (about 2,5)

But you can also convert 145,71 mins = 2 hours and 25 mins.

Let's start off by finding how many sentences Jolie has left to read. We know that there are 120 sentences on a page and she has 17 pages left.
120*17=2040
She has 2040 sentences left to read.
Now, let's calculate how many hours it will take her to finish her reading. We know she reads 14 sentences in a minute and there are 60 minutes in an hour. 
14*60=840
She will read 840 sentences in an hour.
Now, we will divide 2040 by 840 to find how many hours it will take for her to finish reading.
2040/840= 2.43
It will take Jolie approximately 2.43 hours to finish her reading.

Determine if the following sentence is cited correctly. Winston contends that Pluto should continue to be classified as a planet
Alinara [238K]
Yes, because (12) is referring to a page number. I mean, if you're writing an essay, this would be correct. But if you're just stating your opinion, that's wouldn't need to be cited.
