Origional Question: Jennifer can read 8 pages per 15 minutes. At that rate, how long would it take her to read 40 pages?
First you must divide the number of minutes by the number of pages read to get the rate.
15/8 = 1.875
Next multiply your rate, 1.875, by the number of pages you want her to read, in this case, 40.
1.875 * 40 = 75
This gives you an answer of 75 minutes. It takes Jennifer one hour and 15 minutes to read 40 pages.
I hope this helped. Good luck and God Bless.
