Well, the answer is 15 hours
Explanation:
Since it took Loin 5 hours to read 25% of the books and the entire book is 100%, 25% is 1/4 of the book. We add on 5 hours to every 1/4 of the book so 1/2=10 hours, 3/4= 15 hours and the entire book =20 hours. So the entire book would take 20 hours to read but the question is How many MORE hours so we subtract 5 hours from 20 hours which equals 15.
Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
