Hello Sydney,

The answer to your question is 10.5 minutes.

Time taken to read 1 page = 0.8 of a minute

= 0.8 * 60 seconds

= 48 seconds

Time taken to read 6.25 page = 6.25 * 48 seconds

= 300 seconds

= 5 minutes

Time taken to complete the test = 5.5 minutes

Total Time taken = Time taken to read 6.25 page + Time taken to complete the test

= 5 + 5.5

= 10.5 minutes

Happy to help :)
