Question

A student reads 56 pages in 4 hours. How many pages will the student read in 7 hours?

Answer 1

A student reading 56 pages in 4 hours implies a rate of 14 pages per hour. Therefore, in 7 hours, the student will read 98 pages, making it unlikely for the professor to need to read more than 1,050 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a student reads 56 pages in 4 hours, to determine how many pages the student will read in 7 hours, we can establish the rate of pages per hour and then use that rate to extrapolate to 7 hours. To find the rate, divide 56 pages by 4 hours, resulting in 14 pages per hour. Now, multiply this rate by 7 hours to find how many pages the student can read in that duration:

• Rate = 56 pages / 4 hours = 14 pages per hour
• Total pages in 7 hours = 14 pages/hour * 7 hours = 98 pages

Given that a student can read 98 pages in 7 hours, it is unlikely the professor will need to read more than 1,050 pages unless the reading rate significantly increases or there are additional reading sessions beyond these 7 hours.

Answer 2

I think the student reads 98 pages in the seven hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

• I got my answer by drawing a ratio table.

• First I labeled it. pages to hours

• then i wrote down the information that you gave me which was 56 pages to 4 hours.
• So I found how many pages she could read in 1 hour which meant i had to divide 56 by 4 which = 14. so know I know that the student can read 14 pages in one hour.
• Then on the ratio table I multiplied the 1 hour by 7 so then i had to multiply the 14 pages by 7 and got 98.
