Question

Uan is reading Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets at a rate of 25 pages per hour. If the book has 250 pages, write an equation to determine how long it will take Juan to read the entire book.

a) time*rate=total pages
b) time+rate=total pages
c) rate*total pages=time
d) total pages/rate=time

Answer 1

To find out how long it takes Juan to read the book, we use the equation 'total pages/rate = time', which in Juan's case is '250 pages / 25 pages per hour = 10 hours'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the equation to determine how long it will take Juan to read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets if he reads at a rate of 25 pages per hour and the book has 250 pages. To write this equation, we use the formula for time, which relates time, rate, and total pages. The correct equation is d) total pages/rate=time. So, if we plug in the values, we get 250 pages / 25 pages per hour = time. This means that Juan will take 10 hours to read the entire book.
