Question

Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read for 5/8 more than that. Write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with y, the number of minutes that Andre read.

A. x + 0.625y = 0
B. y = 5/8x
C. x = 0.0625y
D. x + 5/8y = 0

Answer 1

The equation that shows the relationship between the minutes Kiran read (x) and the minutes Andre read (y) is y = (5/8)x, with Andre reading 5/8 more minutes than Kiran.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read (x) with the number of minutes Andre read (y) is that Andre read 5/8 more than Kiran. Thus, if Kiran read for x minutes, then we can express Andre's reading time as y = (5/8)x. This shows the relationship between their reading times with y being dependent on x.
