Answer:

  6 hours 15 minutes, or 6.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Hank reads at a constant rate. His reading time will be proportional to the number of pages.

Proportion

We know that 15 minutes is 1/4 hour, so the proportion can be written ...

  hours/pages = (book hours)/(250 pages) = (1/4 hour)/(10 pages)

Multiplying by 250 pages gives ...

  book hours = 250(1/4 hour)/10 = 25/4 hour = 6 1/4 hour

It will take Hank 6 1/4 hours to read the book.
