Answer 1

given that Courtney reads around 110 words per minute
using the rule of 3 simple you can calcule in how many minutes she reads one page so 350 words ,in this way you can writing

110 words reads in 1 min.
350 words reads in x min.

cross multiplie and get x = 350/110 minutes = 35/11 min. so she read one page in 35/11 min.

the book has 820 pages ,using the rule of 3 simple you can writing

1 page reads in 35/11 min.
820 pages reads in x min.

x = 820*(35/11) min. what after make the calcule you need convert in hours
