it took lisa 2 hours to read the first 100 pages of a book. then she read the last 44 pages in 1 hour. how many pages did she read per minute for the whole book

Question

I'm doing a math packet and i needed help on this question if you

 can please help me that would be great thank you so much

Answer 1

To take the average, simply add up the number of pages and divide by the number of hours:

 

(100 + 44) / 3 = 48 pages per hour

 

Now it asks for pages per minute so we have to convert that by dividing by the number of minutes in an hour (60):

 

48 / 60 = 0.8 pages per minute
