#1. You have to do 52/2 because 1 hr/2 = 1/2 hour. So it is 26 pages.
#2. You can only read 52*2=104 pages in 2 hours so you can't complete the assignment.

( 52 pages ) / ( 1 hr ) x ( 3/2 hr ) = 78 pages
----------------
In 2 hrs, you are able to read:
( 52 pages ) / ( 1 hr ) x ( 2 hrs ) = 104 pages
130 pages will take more than 2 hrs
Note that
26 pages is half of 52, so 130 pages will
take 2 and 1/2 hrs to read
