Math Problem Statement
What are possible rates for a student to read a book? Check all the answers that have the right type of units. 660 pages 0.721 minutes 0.0325 hours/page 0.00856 pages per second 0.5 pages per minute
Solution
To find the correct units for the rate at which a student reads a book, we need to identify the combinations of "pages" and "time" (such as minutes, seconds, or hours) that would give us a rate of reading.
-
660 pages: This is just the number of pages, not a rate. Not a valid rate.
-
0.721 minutes: This is just a measure of time, not a rate (no pages involved). Not a valid rate.
-
0.0325 hours/page: This expresses time taken per page, which is a valid rate. Correct.
-
0.00856 pages per second: This is a rate that expresses how many pages are read per second. Correct.
-
0.5 pages per minute: This expresses how many pages are read per minute, which is a valid rate. Correct.
Correct answers:
- 0.0325 hours/page
- 0.00856 pages per second
- 0.5 pages per minute
