Question

Brennan took a total of 16 pages of notes during 8 hours of class. After attending 10 hours of class, how many total pages of notes will Brennan have in his notebook? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

We use unitary method over here. To find out the number pages he writes in 1 hour we should;
16÷8 = 2.
So Brennan writes 2 pages in 1 hour.
Hence, in 10 hours he writes;
2 × 10 = 20.
∴ in ten hours Brennan writes 20 pages.
