Question

How much time does John take to read 15 pages?

• A. 1 hour
• B. 55 minutes
• C. 58 minutes
• D. 30 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is B 55 minutes

Time taken to read 1 page = 3 minutes 40 seconds

Time taken to read 15 pages =
3 min 40 sec × 15


1 minute = 60 seconds

600 seconds = $600÷60$ = 10 minutes

45 minutes + 10 minutes = 55 minutes

Time taken to read 15 pages = 55 minutes
