Using units of measurement may help you to ensure that you obtain a reasonable and correct answer.

You are told that Kate reads 90 pages in 6 days.  That's her reading rate.

You could treat that as a proportion.  

90 pages      300 pages
-------- = -----------
 6 days          x days

Are you able to solve that for x?  What will x represent?

300/(90/6)=20

Sorry if there was any confusion.
Equation Editor is not working with my Chrome browser;  It does work with the Firefox browser today. 
I was running some tests this morning and had to log on and then log off for both browsers.
