Question

Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours. If he continues to read at this same rate, how many chapters will he read in 1 day?

Answer 1

Answer:

He will read 72 chapters in 1 day

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve this question

∵ Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours

∵ He continues to read at this same rate for 1 day

→ We must change the day to hours

∵ 1 day = 24 hours

∴ We need to find how many chapters he will read in 24 hours

→ Chapter  :  Hour

→   6            :   2

→   x            :   24

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 2 = 6 × 24

∴ 2x = 144

→ Divide both sides by 2

∵ $\frac{2x}{2}$ = $\frac{144}{2}$

∴ x = 72

∴ He will read 72 chapters in 1 day
