Mrs Graves gave her class 12 minutes to read. Carrie read 5 and half pages in that time. What rate in per hour did Carrie read?

50pages per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

12:1/2=6

6x10=60

5x10=50

I multiplied by ten because it's in minutes and there are 60 minutes in an hour. And I have to multiply both of them in order to make it correct.

Roughly eight pages per hour ... maybe.

60 (1 hour) minus 12 (the amount of time given) divided by 5 and 1/2 (the amount of pages read) ... is the equation I used.
