Joe can read 24 pages of a book in 1/3 of an hour. What is Joe's reading rate in pages per hour?

I'll be glad to check your answer.

I have 48 for the answer.

The 1/3 = 20 minutes, 24 +24+24 = 72. So Joe reads 72 pages in one hour?

Yes. Joe reads 72 pages in one hour.

Thanks!!

You're welcome.

To find Joe's reading rate in pages per hour, we need to convert the given time to hours and then divide the number of pages read by that time.

Given that Joe can read 24 pages in 1/3 of an hour, we first need to convert 1/3 of an hour to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 1/3 of an hour is equal to (1/3) * 60 = 20 minutes.

Next, we need to convert the 20 minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 20 minutes is equal to 20/60 = 1/3 of an hour.

Now that we have the time in hours, we can calculate Joe's reading rate by dividing the number of pages read (24) by the time in hours (1/3):

Reading rate = Number of pages / Time in hours
= 24 / (1/3)
= 24 * (3/1)
= 72 pages per hour

Therefore, Joe's reading rate is 72 pages per hour.
