Question

Angelo reads 1&1/2 pages in 3 minutes. Find his reading speed in pages per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

30 pages per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Angelo reads 1&1/2 pages in 3 minutes.

$1 \frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{2}$

3/2 pages read in 3 minutes, we need to find the pages read in 1 hour

we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

In 3 minutes pages read = 3/2

To find out reading speed, we divide number of pages by minutes

Reading speed per minute= $\frac{\frac{3}{2} }{3} =\frac{1}{2}$

So his reading speed in pages per hour is $\frac{1}{2} \cdot 60= 30$

30 pages per hour
