If Arif can read 39 pages of a book in half an hour. How long will It take her to finish a book that is 1287 pages?

Correct answer: B. 16.5 Hours

  • A. 16 Hours
  • B. 16.5 Hours
  • C. 17 Hours
  • D. 15.5 Hours

Explanation

Arif reads 39 pages in 0.5 hour, so the rate is 39 pages / 0.5 h = 78 pages/h. The time for 1,287 pages is 1,287 pages / 78 pages/h = 16.5 h. Students may choose 17 hours by rounding the exact half-hour result upward.

About Time, Speed and Distance

Problems relate distance, speed and time through the formula distance = speed × time, including unit conversion, average speed, relative speed and motion in opposite or the same direction. Questions may involve trains, boats and streams, where the effective speed changes, so average speed must not be confused with the simple average of two speeds.
