2 hours

anonymous · Answer

17 pages x 120 sentences =  2,040 sentences
2,040/14 = minutes needed
About 146 minutes needed
146 ÷ 60 = hours and minutes left over.

2 hours and 26 minutes is the number of hours she should set aside.

1 page= 120 sentence so divide the total of sentences of how much she can read,

120/14=8.6 and now we multiple the answer with the pages,

8.6 times the number of pages (17) and you will get,

8.6 x 17 = 146.2 which can be 2 hours and 26.2 minutes.
