If Emma reads 1 page of a book in 44 seconds, how many pages will she read in 15 minutes
Convert 15 minutes to seconds:
15 minutes = 60 * 15 = 900 seconds
Set up a proportion of pages read to seconds where p is the number of pages read in 900 seconds (15 minutes):
1/44 = p/900
Typing this proportion into our search engine, we get:
p = 20.45
