Answer 1

To find out how many pages Mika read per minute, we can first determine how many pages she read per hour and then convert that to pages per minute.

1. First, calculate pages per hour: \[ \text{Pages per hour} = \frac{405 \text{ pages}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 67.5 \text{ pages per hour} \]

2. Convert pages per hour to pages per minute by dividing by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour): \[ \text{Pages per minute} = \frac{67.5 \text{ pages per hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 1.125 \text{ pages per minute} \]

Thus, the answer is approximately 1.125 pages per minute.

If the answer choices were formatted differently, none match exactly with this calculated answer. But, often approximations or specific rounding might come into play in multiple-choice scenarios.

If we consider practical options, rounding or converting to a more simplified fraction, the closest representation might not be there in the choices provided. Please check if there's more context or possible rounding instructions related to the problem.
