Based on the graph, we can see that when Michael reads for approximately 4 hours, he is able to read 400 pages. Therefore, we can estimate that for every hour, he reads 100 pages (400 pages / 4 hours = 100 pages/hour).
To estimate how many hours it took Michael to read 150 pages, we can divide 150 pages by 100 pages/hour:
150 pages / 100 pages/hour = 1.5 hours
Therefore, it took Michael approximately 1.5 hours to read 150 pages. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this would be 2 hours. Answer: \boxed{2}.
