Answer:
1 page per 6 minutes or 10 pages per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that when rates are expressed as quantity of 1 they are called unit rates.
We can represent our problem as unit rate in two ways; either by getting our numerator as 1 or our denominator as 1.
[tex]\frac{5 pages}{30 minutes} =\frac{1}{6 minutes}[/tex]
We know that an hour has 60 minutes. We can get our denominator equal to 60 minutes by multiplying by 2.
[tex]\frac{5*2}{30*2}= \frac{10 pages}{60 minutes}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10 pages}{hour}[/tex]
Therefore, Olive is either reading at 10 pages per hour or 1 page per 6 minutes.
