To find how many pages per minute Mika read, we start by calculating the total number of minutes she read. Given that she read for 6 hours, we convert this to minutes:

\[
6 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes per hour} = 360 \text{ minutes}
\]

Next, we divide the total number of pages by the total number of minutes to find the pages per minute:

\[
\frac{405 \text{ pages}}{360 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{405}{360} = \frac{45}{40} = \frac{9}{8} = 1.125 \text{ pages per minute}
\]

From the options you provided in the image, none match the exact decimal, but option B, \(1 \frac{1}{8}\), correctly represents \(1.125\) in fractional form. Therefore, the answer is:

**B) \(1 \frac{1}{8}\)**

Would you like to know more details or do you have any other questions? Here are some related questions you might consider:

1. How many pages would Mika read in 10 minutes at the same reading speed?
2. If Mika took breaks and only read for 5 hours, how many pages per minute would she read then?
3. How long would it take for Mika to read a 500-page book at the same reading rate?
4. If the reading speed doubled, how many pages would she read in 6 hours?
5. How would the answer change if Mika read the book in 4 hours instead?

**Tip:** When converting hours to minutes or minutes to hours, always remember to use the conversion factor of 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour.
