    Alya loves to read. She reads 90 pages in half an hour. How many pages does she read per minute?

    Set up a proportion of pages to minutes. Since 30 minutes is a half hour, we have the number of pages (p) for 1 minute as:
    90/30 = p/1

    To solve this proportion for p, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    p = 3
