Question

Smith reads $240$ pages of a book in $8$ hours. What is the unit rate of reading per hour?

• A. $80$ pages per $h$
• B. $60$ pages per $h$
• C. $30$ pages per $h$
• D. $40$ pages per $h$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $30$ pages per $h$

Number of pages read $=240$
Time taken $=8h$
Unit rate of reading per hour $=\frac{\text{Number of pages read}}{\text{time taken}}=\frac{\text{240 pages}}{8h}=\text{30 pages per h}$
