Trey reads 10 pages in 25 minutes. At the rate, how many pages will he read in 45 minutes?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: 18 pages

======================================

Explanation:

Trey reads 10 pages in 25 minutes, which means we have the ratio
10 pages: 25 minutes

Divide each part of the ratio by 25
10 pages: 25 minutes
10/25 pages: 25/25 minutes
0.4 pages: 1 minute

So Trey's unit rate is 0.4 pages per minute. In one minute, Trey reads 0.4 of a page

Now multiply both sides of the last ratio by 45
0.4 pages: 1 minute
45*0.4 pages: 45*1 minute
18 pages: 45 minutes

Which is why the answer is 18 pages
It takes Trey 45 minutes to read 18 pages
Or in other words, Trey reads 18 pages in 45 minutes.

Using the given formula T = LS

And given the time is 3 minutes (3 x 60 = 180 seconds)and the speed is 4-1/2 inches per second:

180 = L x 4-1/2

Solve for L by dividing both sides by 4-1/2:

L = 180 / 4-1/2

L = 40

The length should be 40 inches.
