Question

Lin is reading a 47-page book. She read the first 20 pages in 35 minutes. A: if she continues to read at the same rate, will she be able to complete this book in under 1 hour? B: if so, how much time will she have left? If not, how much more time is needed

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation

Because 20 more pages would take 35 more minutes which would be 40 pages at 70 mines then you will divide your 7 pages left by the 35 minutes it took to read the the first two 20 page sections of the book.

35 min.+ 35 min = 70 min.  35 mins./7 pages = 5 mintes

So it took a total of 75 minutes for Line to read her 47 page book.
