Question

HELP YOU WILL GET 30 POINTS Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 55 pages per hour. After reading for 4 hours, he had 330 pages left to read. How long is the book? _____=pages How long did it take Naoya to read the entire book?______=hours

Answer 1

Answers:

total number of pages = 550 pages

total amount of time to read the full book = 10 hours

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

Work Shown:

1 hour = 55 pages

4 hours = 220 pages ... multiply both sides by 4

After 4 hours, he had read 220 pages. Since he has 330 still left to read, this brings the total to 220+330 = 550 pages overall

550/55 = 10 hours is the total amount of time needed to read the entire book at a rate of 55 pages per hour. This is assuming the rate is kept constant.

While 10 hours is a lot, it's somewhat plausible to get the full book read in one continuous session. Though he is better off taking (short) breaks every now and then.

Answer 2

Answer:

550 pages

10 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

he reads 55 pages per hour

4 hrs* 55 pages/hrs=220 pages

the book is 550 pages long

220 pages+330=550 pages

to find the time to read the whole book:

330/55=6 hrs +4 hrs=10

or

550/55=10 hrs
