Luisa will take 2.5 hours(or 2 hours and 30 minutes) to read 300 pages.
It is given that Luisa reads 2 pages of her book every minute.
It is required to find how much time she will take to read 300 pages.
Fraction number consists of two parts one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.
In one minute Lusia reads 2 pages.
Let's suppose in x minutes Luisa reads 300 pages.
So, we can find the value of x such that:
[tex]\rm \frac{1}{x}=\frac{2}{300}[/tex]
2x = 300 (after performing cross multiplication)
x = 150 minutes ( divide by 2 on both sides)
x = 150/60 ⇒ 2.5 hours
Thus, Luisa will take 2.5 hours(or 2 hours and 30 minutes) to read 300 pages.
