Question

Marlon took a total of 12 pages of notes during 3 hours of class. After attending 4 hours of class, how many total pages of notes will Marlon have in his notebook? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

Number of pages of notes taken by Marlon after attending 4 hours of class is 16 pages.

Solution:

Given that

Marlon took a total of 12 pages of notes during 3 hours of class.

Need to calculate total pages of notes after attending 4 hours of classes

Also given that relation between number of hours and number of pages is directly proportional.

Number of pages of notes in 3 hours = 12

So number of pages of notes in 1 hour =
`(12)/(3) = 4`

So number of pages of notes in 4 hours = 4
`*` number of pages of notes in 1 hour = 4
`*` 4 = 16 pages.

Hence number of pages of notes taken by Marlon after attending 4 hours of class is 16 pages
