The unit rate you're trying to find is pages per day(or p/d), so the equation needs to have both a unit for pages and for days.
The equation we have is:

If they read 5,249 <em>pages</em>, then we can include the unit for pages in the equation.
Since we also know that <em>d</em> is the number of days it took, you can replace <em>d</em> with days.
The equation becomes:

Now that we have one variable, we can solve for <em>p/d</em>:

Thus it took them 181 days to read it all.
If Johnny read 5,249 pages over 181 days and the unit rate is pages per day(p/d), then the equation for finding <em>p/d</em> is:
Johnny read 29 pages per day.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in values
We know that x=4 and y= -8
just plug in numbers until one is correct
4-4(-8)=36
4+32=36
36=36
the answer is A
If Nate paints the wall in 4 hours, it means that he can paint 1/4 of the wall every hour.
Similarly, if Jill paints the wall in 7 hours, it means that he can paint 1/7 of the wall in one hour.
So, together, they paint the following fraction of the wall in one hour:
.
At this rate, they need 28/11 hours to paint the whole wall, in fact, after that amount of time they paint

i.e. the whole wall
