Question

Iswar can read 5 pages in 15 min . Anne can read 15 pages in 1 hour .Explain how you could use a table or graph to find how much longer it would take Anne to read 300 page book than Iswar ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$300\ minutes$  or  $5\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Iswar

we know that

Iswar can read 5 pages in 15 min

so

by proportion

Find how much long it take Iswar to read 300 pages

$\frac{15}{5}\frac{minutes}{pages} =\frac{x}{300}\frac{minutes}{pages}\\ \\x=300*15/5\\ \\x=900\ minutes$

step 2

Anne

we know that

Anne can read 15 pages in 60 min (1 hour)

so

by proportion

Find how much long it take Anne to read 300 pages

$\frac{60}{15}\frac{minutes}{pages} =\frac{x}{300}\frac{minutes}{pages}\\ \\x=300*60/15\\ \\x=1,200\ minutes$

step 3

Find the difference

$1,200\ minutes-900\ minutes=300\ minutes$

$300\ minutes=5\ hours$
