You can find the unit rate of pages per minute by dividing the pages read amongst the time spent. 60/75 is .8 pages per minute. 

If Julie's book is 350 pages long, then you can set up the proportion 
60      350
75         x

If you solve this proportion, you get 437.5 minutes, or 7 hours and 17 minutes, and 30 seconds.
