If she reads 90 pages in 2.5 hours, then she reads
pages in an hour.
=pages in an hour.
At the same rate,
She reads 36 pages in 1hr
She will read 225 pages in xhrs
(I really wish I could simplify this, but since there's no visual, I hope you understand)
She will read 225 pages in hrs
She will read 225 pages in 6.25hrs.

90/2.5=36
225/36=6.25 hours
