0.46 To find the reading rate in pages per minute, we need to convert the time from hours to minutes.

We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so to convert 7 hours to minutes, we multiply it by 60:

7 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 420 minutes

Now, we can find the reading rate by dividing the number of pages by the number of minutes:

195 pages / 420 minutes

To the nearest hundredth, we perform the division:

195 / 420 ≈ 0.4643

So, the proofreader's reading rate is approximately 0.46 pages per minute.
