Question

It takes you 0.8 of a minute to read each page of your health book. it takes you 5.5 minutes to take the test at the end. how long will it take you to read 6.25 pages and also take the test?

Answer 1

First, make an expression      0.8x + 5.5
 Plug in the values                0.8(6.25) +5.5
Solve                                    5 + 5.5
Simplify                                10.5

It will take you 10.5 minutes to read 6.25 pages and take the test.

Answer 2

Answer: 10.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken to read each page of health book = 0.8 minutes

Time taken to take the test at the end = 5.5 minutes

Let x be the number of pages of book to read, then time taken to read pages and take the test is given by :-

$T(x)=0.8x+5.5$

If we read 6.25 pages, then time taken to read 6.25 pages and take the test is given by :-

$T(6.25)=0.8(6.25)+5.5=5+5.5=10.5\ minutes$
