Jolie can read around 14 sentences per minute of her current novel. She wants to finish her reading before the movie comes out next week. If she has 17 pages left to read and each page has about 120 sentences, how many hours should Jolie set aside to complete her reading? Show your work to receive full credit. (10 points)

Well, first you want to figure out how many sentences Jolie has left to read. You can do that by multiplying 120 by 17 which equals 2,040. Then you have to divide 2,040 by 14. The answer to that is about 145.72 which you could just leave at about 145 minutes. And to simplify that even more you could divide by 60 and figure that 145.72 is about 2 hours and 42 minutes.
