Question

Lin is reading a 47-page book. She read the first 20 pages in 35 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

no

22.25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First determine how long it will take her to read the entire book

20 pages          47 pages

--------------  = ----------------

35 minutes         x minutes

Using cross products

20x = 35*47

20x=1645

Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1645/20

x =82.25 minutes

This is more than 1 hour ( 1 hour = 60 minutes)

82.25 minutes - 60 minutes = 22.25 minutes

She will need 22.25 more minutes
