    18 minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5 mins = 10 pages

    10 mins = 20 pages

    15 mins = 30 pages

    20 mins = 40 pages

    Just keep adding 5 to the minutes and 10 to the pages. then if you divide 10 by 5 (10:5) you get 2.

    2 is the amount of pages you read in 1 minute.

    so 1 minute = 2 pages

    Since you only need to read 36 pages, you know that it would at least take you 15 mintes to read 30.

    then you start adding 1 minute until you get to 36 pages.

    15 minutes = 30 pages

    16 minutes = 32 pages

    17 minutes = 34 pages

    18 minutes = 36 pages

    Therefore, it should take 18 minutes to read all 36 pages.

    (A shorter way of doing this would be doing 10:5=2, then just dividing 36 by 2 (36:2) and you would get 18 which would be the minutes it would take you to read all 36 pages if you read at 2 pages per minute.)
