    If Emma reads 1 page of a book in 44 seconds, how many pages will she read in 15 minutes

    Convert 15 minutes to seconds:
    15 minutes = 60 * 15 = 900 seconds

    Set up a proportion of pages read to seconds where p is the number of pages read in 900 seconds (15 minutes):
    1/44 = p/900

    Typing this proportion into our search engine, we get:
    p = 20.45
