Math Problem Statement

Henry loves to read. He reads 90 pages in half-an-hour. How many pages does Henry read per minute?

Solution

To determine how many pages Henry reads per minute, we calculate as follows:

Henry reads 90 pages in 30 minutes. To find pages per minute:

Pages per minute=Total pagesTotal minutes=9030=3\text{Pages per minute} = \frac{\text{Total pages}}{\text{Total minutes}} = \frac{90}{30} = 3

Answer: Henry reads 3 pages per minute.
