Question

It takes you 0.8 of a minute to read each page of your health book. It takes you 5.5 minutes to take the test at the end. How long will it take you to read 6.25 pages and also take the test?

Answer 1

Answer: It will take 10.5 minutes to  read 6.25 pages and  take the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the expression that represents this situation is :

0.8 p + 5.5  

Since each reading each page of the health book takes 0.8 minutes, we have to multiply that time by the number of pages read (p) and add the time that spent on taking the test (5.5).

So, if the number of pages is p=6.25, we simply replace p in the expression.

0.8 (6.25) +5.5 = 5+5.5 = 10.5 minutes

It will take 10.5 minutes to read 6.25 pages and take the test.

Answer 2

It will take 10.5 minutes to read 6.25 pages and also take the test. You can solve this by multiplying 0.8 x 6.25 to find the amount of time to read the pages, and then add 5.5 to that answer.
