Question

Brayan reads 750 pages in 1,000 minutes. What is the decimal number obtained when we find the number of pages read in 1 minute?

• A. 0.075
• B. 0.0075
• C. 7.5
• D. 0.75

Answer 1

The correct option is D 0.75

Number of pages read in 1,000 minutes = 750 = 750.0

Number of pages read in 1 minute = 750.0 $÷$ 1000

To divide a number by 1000, we have to move the decimal point three places to the left.

$⟹$ 750.0 $÷$ 1000 = 0.750

Number of pages read in 1 minute = 0.75

Hence, the decimal number obtained, when we find the number of pages read in 1 minute is 0.75.
