Question

James read 4 pages in a book in 6 minutes. How long would it take him to read 6 pages

Answer 1

This is probably directly proportional
disregarding other factors such as eyestrain, fires, and apocalypses.
4:6
treat as fraction
4/6=2/3
how long to read 6
6/x=2/3
multiply 2/3 by 3/3 since 2 times 3=6
6/x=6/8
x=8

8 mins

Answer 2

60X6=360 seconds, 360 divided by 4= 90, James takes 90 seconds to read one page. 90X6=540, 540divided by 60 is 9. James takes 9 minutes to read 6 pages.
