Answer 2

Answer:

Fran took 4.76 hours to read 257 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using unitary method,

Unitary method is used to find the value of a single unit.

54 pages can be read in 1 hour.

So, 1 page can be read in $\frac{1}{54}$ hours.

To read 257 pages  = Time taken to read 1 page * number of pages to read

                                 = $\frac{1}{54} \times 257$

                                 = 4.75925 (approximately)

As we have to find answer in nearest hundredth so it is 4.76 Hours.

Thus, Fran took  4.76 hours to read 257 pages.
