Question

Caleb read a total of 30 pager over 2 hours. After a total of 3 hours of reading this week, how many pages will Caleb have read in all? Solve using unit rates

Answer 1

Answer:

45 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Caleb read a total of 30 pager over 2 hours.

To find the unit rates

2 hours of reading = 30 pages

1 hour of reading = x

Cross Multiply

2× x = 30 × 1

2x = 30

x = 30/1

x = 15 Pages.

Hence, he read 15 pages per hour

After a total of 3 hours of reading this week, how many pages will Caleb have read in all?

If;

1 hour = 15 pages

3 hours = x pages

Cross Multiply

x = 3 × 15 pages

x = 45 pages

Hence, Caleb would have read 45 pages in all
