Ty has 230 pages of text to

read in the next three days. If he averages 25 pages every 1 1/4

hours,

how many hours is he going to be spending reading this text?

230 pages divided by 25 pages = 92

92 x 1.25 hours = 11 1/2 hours (this is the answer)

The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:

20 pages per 1 hour

Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.
