Question

Rebecca is doing a reading assignment.After 23 minutes of reading,she skims the pages she has left and estimates that she still has 54% of the assignment to finish.If she keeps reading at the same rate,how many minutes will it have taken Rebecca to complete her whole assignment?
How do i work it out to get the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

27 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 54% = 46%

23→46%

x →100%

x= $\frac{23*100}{46}$ = $\frac{2300}{46}$ = 50 minutes

50 - 23= 27 minutes
