Q:

Sydney read 50 pages and 40 minutes she reads at a constant rate how many pages can Sydney read per minute

Accepted Solution

A:
The rate at which Sydney can read the pages of a certain book, article, or whatsoever write-up is given to be 50 pages per 40 minutes. This can be better expressed as,
                50 pages/40 minutes
The number of pages that she can read each minute is calculated by dividing both the numerator and the denominator of the ratio by 40, giving us,
                       (50/40) / (40 /40)
The new ratio is now 1.25:1

ANSWER: 1.25 pages per minute
