It took Alicia 50 minutes to read and take notes on 25 pages of her science textbook. At that rate, how long would it take her to read and take notes on 35 pages of the textbook?

Hello I hope I can help you with this!!

EXPLANATION:
50minutes= 25 pages

50/5= 10
25/5=5

10 minutes = 5 pages

We want to find out 35 pages so...

5 pages times 7 to get 35 pages so we have to do the same to the other side...

10 minutes: 5 pages

10 minutes times 7

70minutes: 35 pages

ANSWER IS: 70 minutes
