Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 45 minutes is the TOTAL amount she reads so it can be expressed as x/45
*x=a part
2. set up a proportion
x/45 = 2/5
3. now solve by either cross multiplication or finding a scale factor. I am finding a scale factor because that is easiest.
45/5=9
so 5 * 9 = 45
so 2 * 9 = 18
the asnwer is 18. I hope this helps
