have earned of a point. How many points for 3 books, 10 books and 13 books?

Answer 1

Books read Points earned

7 5

1 0.71

3 2.14

10 7.14

13 9.28

Explanation:

If Chloe read 7 books she would earn points = 5

Now for finding points earned for 1 book, we would divide 5 by 7

For 1 book she would earn points = 5/7 = 0.71 points

Now if 1 book is read, points earned are 5/7 or 0.71

Now, finding points earned for 3,10 and 13 books read:

For 3 books she would earn points = 5/7 * 3 = 2.14 points

For 10 books she would earn points = 5/7 * 10 = 7.14 points

For 13 books she would earn points = 5/7 * 13 = 9.28 points

So, The table would be:

Books read Points earned

7 5

1 0.71

3 2.14

10 7.14

13 9.28
