Question

Hannah reads at a constant rate of 3 pages every 8 minutes. Write an equation that shows the relationship between p, the number of pages she reads, and m, the number of minutes she spends reading. Report a probler

Answer 1

Since we have that Hannah reads 3 pages every 8 minutes, we will construct the function by first knowing how many pages she reads in 1 minute, that is:

She reads 3/8 pages each minute, then we will construct the function as follows:

`p=(3)/(8)m`

Where p is the number of pages and m is the number of minutes that she reads. We can see that this describes is if we solve for 1 minute and 8 minutes. If we solve for 1 minute, we get she read 3/8 pages and if we replace 8 minutes, we will get that she reads 3 pages.
