Hello everyone, got a “sub-problems” teaser for ya. Be sure to show which fractions you used, don’t worry about showing how you calculated them. Enjoy!
1. “Reading Rate Pt. 1”
If you read 15 minutes per day every day and end up reading 12 books of 200 pages each in 1 year, what is your reading rate in pages per minute?
2. “Reading Rate Pt. 2’
If you increase your reading speed so that each page takes you 30 seconds less than it did before and you begin reading 20 minutes per day, how many 200-page books can you now read in a year?

(12)(200) / (15)(365) = 0.43836 pages per minute, or 2.28125 minutes per page
(20)(365) / (1.78125)*(200) = 20.49 books, or
20 complete books
