Question

Mr. Ailey gave his class 45 minutes to read. Davida reads 27 3/4 pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Davida read?
A 42
B 36
C 34
D 37

Answer 1

Answer:

37 pages per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time Given to read = 45 minutes ; 45 / 60 = 0.75

Number of pages readable ad by Davida within the given time frame = 27 3/4 pages

David's reading rate in pages per hour :

Number of pages read / time taken (hrs)

[27 3/4] ÷ (45/60)

[111 / 4] ÷ (45/60)

(111 / 4 ) * (60/45)

(111 * 60) / (4 * 45)

6660 / 180

= 37 pages per hour
