A student is doing a reading assignment. After 37 minutes of reading, she skims the pages ahead and estimates that she still has 55% of the reading to do. According to the girl's estimate, how long is the total reading assignment? Round to the nearest minute.

Answer 1

Answer:

82 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of pages she has already read

100-55= 45%

45%----------- 37mins

55%------------ x mins

x =( 37× 55)/45

x= 45.22 mins

approximately x=45 mins

The time for reading assignment is 37mins + 45 mins = 82 mins.

Answer 2

Answer:

82 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first calculate the percentage 37 minutes is. It is 45%

Next find how much 1% is.

Divide by 45.

$\frac{37}{45}$

Multiply by 100 to find how much the whole time is: $\frac{3700}{45}$

The decimal version is: 82.2222222222...

Which simplifies to 82 minutes.
