Tamara can proofread 12 pages in 6 minutes. how many minutes will it take her to proofread 96 pages?

she can proofread 12 pages in 6 minutes.

then we need to find how many minutes it takes to proofread 1 page.

Since 12 pages take 6 minutes

then 1 page takes = 6 minutes / 12 pages = 0.5

then rate is 0.5 minutes / page.

so then if it takes 0.5 minutes to proofread 1 page then 96 pages it takes - 0.5 minutes / page x 96 pages

time taken = 48 minutes
