Alexandra · Answer

Of you divide 45 and 90 u will get 2 so it tales 2 minutes per book soo 120 x 2=240 240=4 hours

nicole · Answer

well it took him 45:90 (45 books 90 mins)

so all you have to is find out how many books per minute

90/45=2

so books per minute

now do 120 x 2= 240

ratio is now 240:120

CHECK!

divide 240 by 120 and you get 2
