Options

C. 25
D. 35

Answer

To solve the problem of how many pages Rekha can read in 45 minutes, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the reading rate per minute
Rekha reads 15 pages in 25 minutes. To find out how many pages she reads in 1 minute, we divide the total pages by the total time in minutes.

\[ \text{Pages per minute} = \frac{15 \text{ pages}}{25 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ pages per minute} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the total pages read in 45 minutes
Now that we know Rekha reads \(\frac{3}{5}\) pages in 1 minute, we can find out how many pages she reads in 45 minutes by multiplying her reading rate by 45.

\[ \text{Total pages in 45 minutes} = \left(\frac{3}{5} \text{ pages per minute}\right) \times 45 \text{ minutes} \]

### Step 3: Perform the multiplication
Now, we multiply \(\frac{3}{5}\) by 45.

\[ \text{Total pages in 45 minutes} = \frac{3 \times 45}{5} = \frac{135}{5} = 27 \text{ pages} \]

### Conclusion
Rekha will complete **27 pages** in 45 minutes.
