B. 2.78 hours

Answer 1

The answer is B 2.78 hours

Answer 2

$\text{We need to find how long it takes for him to read 250 pages}\\\\\text{We know that he can read 10 pages in 15 minutes}\\\\\text{With this knowledge, lets find our answer}\\\\\text{We can divide 250 by 10 to find how many sections of pages he needs to}\\\text{read}\\\\250\div10=25\\\\\text{Now, since we know this, we can multiply 25 by 15 to find the total time to}\\\text{read}\\\\25\cdot15=375\,\text{minutes}\\\\\text{This translates to 6.25 hours, therefore making A your answer}$

$\boxed{\text{A).\,\, 6.25 hours}}$
