Ms graves gave her class 12 minutes to read. Carrie read 5 1/2pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Carrie read?

27.5 of pages of the book

60:12=5

5.5*5=27.5

12 mins

60 mins per hour

we are trying to find an equivilent fraction that has 60 in the bottom

so

(5 and 1/2) / 12=x/60

multiply both sides by 60

330/12=x

divide

27 and 1/2=x

she read 27.5 pages per minute
