Question

Nick can read 3 pages in 1 minute. Write the ordered pairs (number of minutes, number of pages read) for Nick reading 0,1,2,and 3 minutes.

Answer 1

y = 3x....where y is # pgs read and x = # of minutes

0 minutes....x = 0
y = 3(0)
y = 0
ordered pair (0,0)

1 minute...x = 1
y = 3(1)
y = 3
ordered pair (1,3)

2 minutes...x = 2
y = 3(2)
y = 6
ordered pair (2,6)

3 minutes...x = 3
y = 3(3)
y = 9
ordered pair (3,9)
