<span>75 pages.
OK. Lots of copying errors here. I'll be using 275 page book, reading 10 pages per 15 minutes, skimming 15 pages per 10 minutes, 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete the book.
To make things easier, first convert the time to just minutes. So
5 * 60 + 50 = 300 + 50 = 350 minutes.
Now let's use the variable X for the number of minutes spent skimming and (350-X) for the number of minutes spent reading.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
Solve for X.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 + 350*10/15 - X*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 - X*10/15 = 275 - 350*10/15
X(15/10 - 10/15) = 275 - 3500/15
X(45/30 - 20/30) = 825/3 - 700/3
X(25/30) = 125/3
X = 125/3 * 30/25 = 125/1 * 10/25 = 5/1 * 10/1 = 50/1 = 50
So Jayden spent 50 minutes skimming. And at the rate of 15 pages every 10 minutes, he skimmed 50*15/10 = 750/10 = 75 pages.</span>
Answer:
2 3/8 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
11/4 - 3/8
We will find the LCM of 4 and 8, which is 8.
We will do 11/4*8, which 8/4 = 2 and 2*11 = 22
Then we will do 3/8*8 = 8/8 = 1 = 3*1 = 3
So the answer will be <u>22-3 </u> = 19
8 = 8
Mixed Fraction = 2 3/8
