Question

Ms. Green gave her class 20 minutes to read. Carrie read 8.5 pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per minute, did Carrie read?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is asking for pages per hour, that is how the ratio (rate) needs to be written. Given 5.5 pages per 12 minutes, you need to convert minutes to hours before writing the ratio. Since there is 1 hour per 60 minutes, (12 minutes)(1 hour/60 minutes) = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours.
