Answer 1

Given that Oliver reads 31 pages in 4/3 hours, the rate at which he reads is 23 pages per hour.

How may pages per hour did Oliver read?

Given the data in the question;

• Oliver reads 31 pages in 1 1/3 hours.
• Number of pages read in 1 hour = ?

Let 'x' represent the number pages that Oliver read in 1 hour.

Convert the mixed fraction 1 1/3 to an improper fraction

1 1/3 = ( 1×3 + 1 )/3 = 4/3

Hence.

Oliver reads 31 pages in 4/3 hours

Oliver reads x pages in 1 hour

We determine the value of x.

x × 4/3 = 31 × 1

4x/3 = 31

4x = 93

x = 93/4

x = 23.25 ≈ 23

Given that Oliver reads 31 pages in 4/3 hours, the rate at which he reads is 23 pages per hour.
