If Carrie read 5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes, Carrie will read at the rate of [tex]27 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages in 1 hour.

Note:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Rate in pages per hour mean how many pages is read in 60 minutes.

Thus:

In other to find the number of pages Carrie read per hour, let the number of pages Carrie read be represented as x.

5 1/2 pages = 12 minutes

x pages = 60 minutes

  • Cross multiply

[tex]12 \times x = 60 \times 5.5 \\\\12x = 330\\[/tex]

  • Divide both sides by 12

x = 27.5

Therefore, if Carrie read 5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes, Carrie will read at the rate of [tex]27 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages in 1 hour.
