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

So assuming that the book is 100% the student has read 45% of the book so far in a time of 37 minutes so if you divide 45 by 37 you get 1 minute and 22 seconds per 1% of the assignment
If you multiply this by 100% you get 122 minutes for the total assignment
