Meg knows it takes 16 minutes to read 7/8 of the chapter. How long will it take her to read the full chapter?

Hi there. This can be solved by using a ratio. 16 minutes:7/8 chapter = x minutes:1 chapter Cross multiply 16 minutes x 1 and convert 7/8 to .875 So you take 16 divided by .875 and it equals 18.29 minutes or round off to 18 minutes to read 1 chapter.
