Anita read 150 pages in 5 hours. What is her reading rate in pages per minute?
150 pages / 5 hours
Divide top and bottom by 5:
150/5 = 30
5/5 = 1
So we have 30 pages per hour
And 1 hour is 60 minutes, so we have:
(30 pages / 1 hour) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)
30 pages / 60 minutes
0.5 pages per minute
150 pages / 5 hours
Divide top and bottom by 5:
150/5 = 30
5/5 = 1
So we have 30 pages per hour
And 1 hour is 60 minutes, so we have:
(30 pages / 1 hour) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)
30 pages / 60 minutes
0.5 pages per minute
