Correct Solution: He read 1.5 pages per minute.
Error Analysis: You should’ve divided 3 by 2 not 300. There are 300 pages in the book total. This information is irrelevant to the question. Cole reads 3 pages in two minutes. So you divide 3 by to to find out how many pages he reads per minute. 3/2=1.5
1.5 cups per day...7 days per week....1.5 * 7 = 10.5 cups per week
16 cups = 1 gallon
16/1 = 10.5/x....16 cups to 1 gal = 10.5 cups to x gal
cross multiply
(16)(x) = (1)(10.5)
16x = 10.5
x = 10.5/16
x = 0.65625 rounds to 0.66 gallons per week
142/10= 14.2
