Answer:

The answer is 55

Explanation:

Because for every 1 month he reads 5 books

if you do 5 times 11 you get 55

and to check your answer you divide 55 by 5 you get 11

so your equation would be 5 times 11

and your answer would be 55.

hope this helps ;)

Answer:


\huge\boxed{n=5m}


\huge\boxed{55 \ \text{novels}}

Explanation:

With this word problem, we can model it into an equation which we can interpret to find values.

If we need to read 5 novels per month and n represents the amount of novels read in m months, we know that n will be the dependent variable (y) as it's a direct function of the number of months. This makes m the independent variable (x).

Since there are 5 novels a month, the equation will be 5 times the number of months equals the number of novels per month.

aka -
n=5m

We can now substitute inside the equation with 11 months as m, and find the value of n.


  • n = 5 \cdot 11

  • n=55

Hope this helped!
