Question

Grayson read a total of 16 books over 8 months. After belonging to the book club for 14 months, how many books will Grayson have read in all? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

Grayson reads at a rate of 2 books per month, so after 14 months, he will have read a total of 28 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking a math question that involves calculating the total number of books read by Grayson after 14 months, given his reading rate over the first 8 months. To solve using unit rates, we first find the number of books Grayson reads per month, and then we use this unit rate to find out how many he will have read after 14 months.

First, we calculate the monthly reading rate:

1. Grayson read 16 books in 8 months.
2. We divide the total number of books Grayson has read by the number of months to find the unit rate: 16 books ÷ 8 months = 2 books per month.
3. Now that we have the unit rate, we can multiply it by the total number of months Grayson will have been in the book club to find the total number of books read: 2 books/month × 14 months = 28 books.

Therefore, after 14 months in the book club, Grayson will have read a total of 28 books.
