Rock can read 10 books in 30 minutes. How long does it take rock to read 15 books, if the speed is consistent?

Divide 30 by 10 to see how long it takes him to read 1 book (30/10=3). Then multiply 3 by 15 to see how long it takes him to read 15 books (3x15=45). It takes Rock 45 minutes to read 15 books :)
