Question

Alejandro red 4 pagos in a book in 6 minutes how long would you expect him to read 6 pages at this rate

Answer 1

I would expect him to read 6 pages in 9 minutes

Explanation:

1. Use a proportion to solve.
`(4)/(6) =(6)/(x)`

2. Cross multiply. Then...
`4x=36`

3. Divide by 4 on each side.
`(4x)/(4) =(36)/(4)`

4. Answer..... x=9 minutes

Answer 2

Set up the proportion: pages/minutes

4/6=6/x

4x=36

x=9

Therefore, it would take Alejandro 9 minutes to read 6 pages.
