Question

Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read for 58 more than that. Write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with y, the number of minutes that Andre read. Use decimals in your equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.017y=0.017x+0.97$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that,

number of minutes read by Kiran is = x minutes.

number of minutes read by Andre is = y minutes.

Andre read for 58 minute more than that of Kiran.

Converting minute to hour we get,

$x\text{ minutes}=\dfrac{x}{60}=0.017x\text{ hour}$

$y\text{ minutes}=\dfrac{y}{60}=0.017y\text{ hour}$

$58\text{ minutes}=\dfrac{58}{60}=0.97\text{ hour}$

So the relationship between x and y will be,

$0.017y=0.017x+0.97$
