To calculate the unit rate for pages per hour, we take the number of pages Leo reads and divide it by the number of hours it takes him to read those pages:
Leo reads 11 pages in 1/4 hour. Therefore, to find out how many pages he reads per hour, we divide 11 pages by 1/4 hour:
Pages per hour = Pages / Hours
Pages per hour = 11 pages / (1/4 hour)
Pages per hour = 11 pages * (4/1) [since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal]
Pages per hour = 44 pages per hour
So, Leo's reading speed is 44 pages per hour.
To find out how many hours Leo takes to read one page (hours per page), we take the inverse of the pages per hour:
Hours per page = Hours / Pages
Hours per page = (1/4 hour) / 11 pages
Hours per page = (1/4) * (1/11) [dividing by 11 is the same as multiplying by 1/11]
Hours per page = 1/44 hour per page
This means it takes Leo 1/44 of an hour to read one page.
leo reads 11 paes in 1/4 hour what is the unit rate for pages per hour for hours per page
