Question

Colton has math and reading homework tonight. Colton can solve each math problem in 3 minutes and he can read each page in 1.5 minutes. The number of pages Colton read is twice the number of math problems he solved. and it took him 54 minutes to complete all of his homework. Determine the number of math problems Colton solved and the number of pages he read.

Answer 1

Answer:

Colton solved 9 math problems and read 18 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

9*2=18

9 problems * 3 minutes per problem= 27 minutes

18 pages * 1.5 minutes per page= 27 minutes

27 + 27=54
