Question

Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read for 5/8 more than that. Write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with y, the number of minutes that Andre read. Use decimals in your equation.

Answer 1

Answer:  $y = 1.625 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the time taken by Kiran in reading (in minutes) and y represents the time taken by Andrew in reading (in minutes).

According to the question,

Andre read for 5/8 more than kiran.

Thus, The time taken by Andrew(in minutes) = time taken by kiran + 5/8 of time taken by kiran

= $x + \frac{5}{8}\times x$

=  $\frac{8}{8} + \frac{5}{8}$

= $\frac{13x}{8}$

= $1.625 x$

Thus, required equation,

$y = 1.625 x$

Answer 2

Answer:

The required equation is $y=0.625+x$              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read for 5/8 more than that.

To find : Write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with y, the number of minutes that Andre read ?

Solution :

The number of minutes read by Kiran = 'x' minutes.

The number of minutes read by Andre = 'y' minutes.

Andre read for $\frac{5}{8}$ more than that,

The number of minutes Kiran read to the number of minutes that Andre read is given by,

$y=\frac{5}{8}+x$

$y=0.625+x$

Therefore, The required equation is $y=0.625+x$
