Given:
George can read 14 pages of a novel in 30 minutes.
Find how many minutes would it take to read 420 pages.
Solution:
In order to determine how many minutes would it take to read 420 pages, simply divide 420 pages by 14 pages.
=420/14
= 30
Multiply 30 with 30 minutes since it takes 30 minutes to read 14 pages.
= (30)(30)
= 900 minutes
