Question

(Real-World Proportional Problems MC)

The time it takes to read 5 pages of a book can be represented with the equation y equals 4.5 divided by 5 times x, where y represents the total time in minutes and x represents the number of pages read.

Determine how long it will take to read a book that has 218 pages.

242.22 minutes
218.63 minutes
196.2 minutes
54.5 minutes

Answer 1

c) 196.2 minutes

Explanation:

Forming the equation,

→ y = (4.5/5) × 218

Now required value of y will be,

→ y = (4.5/5) × 218

→ y = 981/5

→ [ y = 196.2 min ]

Hence, the value of y is 196.2.

Answer 2

• C. 196.2 minutes

===========================

Equation

• y = (4.5 / 5) x

Given

• x = 218

Find y

• y = (4.5/5)*218
• y = 0.9*218
• y = 196.2

Correct choice is C
