190 pages

Explanation:

To solve the # of pages he would read in 5 hours, let's first find the number of pages he reads in one hour.

• 76 pages ÷ 2 hours
• 38 pages per hour

Next, we multiply 38 by 5.

• 38 × 5
• 190 pages

Therefore, the answer is 190 pages.

Answer 2

190 pages

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Erin read 76 pages in 2 hours...
How many pages would he have read in 5 hours?

In order to find the answer, we divide the number of pages he read in two hours by two. To find the number of pages he reads in 1 hour, then just multiply that answer by five.


`2h=76p`

`4h=76+76=152p`

`76/2=38`

`152+38=190`

`5h=190p`

In five hours, Erin would have read "190 pages" of his book.

Hope this helps.
