a. 8 pages b. 12.5 c. 0.8 pages d. 1.25 pages

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{ D. 1.25 pages}}$

To begin, convert hours to minutes to solve for the amount of pages read per minute:

1 hour = 60 minutes --> 8 hours = 60 × 8 = 480 minutes

Divide the total amount of pages read by the amount of minutes to solve:

600 ÷ 480 = 1.25 pages per minute.
