Question

If Rachel can read 10 pages in 12 minutes how long does it take her to read 8 pages

Answer 1

9.6

Explanation:

Step 1:

Find the rate of proportion

We can do 12/10 to find how many minutes it takes her to read 1 page, or 1.2.

Step 2:

Multiply 1.2 by 8 to get 9.6

ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

Divide 10 by 8 to get 1.25. Then divide 12 by 1.25 to get 9.6
