Question

Sheldon can read 9 pages in 15 minutes. Betty can read 18 pages in 1 hour. Explain how you could use a table or graph to

find how much longer it would take Betty to read a 360-pageants book than Sheldon.
Make a table of
Betty hours longer to read the book.

Answer 1

First step, make ratios:

Pages: time

Sheldon: 9 pages: 15 minutes

Betty: 18 pages: 60 minutes (1 hour)

To find how long it would be for 360 you divide:

9/15 is 0.6 pages: 1 minute and 18/60 is 0.3 pages per minute

When you make the table here would be the equation:

y=.06x for Sheldon and y=.3 for betty (plug in times and create a table)
