Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate = page/hour

2 hours and 40 minutes into hours is 2.67 hours.

Average rate = 96/2.67

Average rate = 36

Answer 2

Answer:

C. 36

$time \: in \: hours \\ = 2 + \frac{40}{60} \\ \\ = 2 + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{8}{3} \: hrs \\ \\ rate \: of \: reading = \frac{96}{ \frac{8}{3}} \\ \\ = \frac{96 \times 3}{8} \\ \\ = 12 \times 3 \\ \\ = 36 \: pages \: per \: hour$
