Eric read 150 pages in one hour. What is Eric's reading rate in pages per minute?

Answer 1

#2.5# pages per minute.

First of all you know that he read #color(green)(150)# pages in #color(red)(1 hour)#. #color(red)(1 hour)# is the same as #color(blue)(60 min)#. You are going to take the number of pages read (#color(green)(150)#)and divide it by how many minutes it took him to read the pages, which is #color(blue)(60min)# #color(purple)(150/60)color(purple)(=2.5)# Eric read #2.5# pages in #1# minute.

To check your answer, you can multiply #2.5# by #60# #color(brown)(2.5*60)color(brown)(=150)#

Hope this helps :)

Eric's reading rate in pages per minute can be calculated by dividing the number of pages he read by the number of minutes he spent reading.

Reading rate (pages per minute) = Total pages read / Total minutes spent reading

Given that Eric read 150 pages in one hour (which is equivalent to 60 minutes), we can calculate his reading rate:

Reading rate = 150 pages / 60 minutes = 2.5 pages per minute

So, Eric's reading rate is 2.5 pages per minute.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
