Pat starts reading at 1pm. He reads 5 pages in 15 minutes. If pat reads until 2:45 PM how many pages has he read

From 1PM to 2:45 PM is 1 hour and 45 minutes. Since 1 hour is 60 minutes, Pat reads 105 minutes.

Calculate the 15 minute blocks:
Blocks = Total Minutes / 15
Blocks = 105/15
Blocks = 7

Pat reads 5 pages for every 15 minute block. So we have:
Total Pages Read = 5 pages * 7 blocks
Total Pages Read = 35
