If it takes Ava 15 minutes to read 5 pages of a book, how many minutes would it take her to read 30 pages? A 60 B 75 C 90 D 450

Ava reads at a pace of 1 page every 3 minutes (since 15 minutes divided by 5 pages equals 3 minutes per page). To find out how long it takes her to read 30 pages, you simply multiply: 30 pages times 3 minutes per page equals 90 minutes. So, C 90 is the correct answer! When tackling reading tasks, it’s handy to figure out your speed first, just like Ava. Avoid common mistakes like assuming speed is constant without checking. Keep an eye on your concentration and take breaks if you feel your focus waning; this can help maintain your reading speed consistently over longer passages!
