Question

If Joan read 75 pages in 4 hours how long will it take her to read 250 pages

Answer 1

Answer:

13 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Joan read in 4 hours = 75 pages

She read in 1 hour = $\frac{75}{4}$ pages

                               = 18.75 pages

It will take her to read 250 pages = $\frac{250}{18.75}$

                                                        = 13.33 hours.

Now we will convert 0.33 hours to minute.

0.33 × 60 = 19.8 minutes  ≈ 20 minutes

It will take her 13 hours and 20 minutes to read 250 pages.

Answer 2

75/4=25 pages per hour, so, now we have to divide 250 by 25.

250/25=10

So, it would take Joan 10 hours to read 250 pages. :)
