Question

Model with mathematics. Hamid has read 60 pages of the book

he will be using for a book report. If he reads 45 pages per hour, how
many hours will it take him to read at least 375 pages of the book?
Define a variable, and then write and solve an inequality to represent
this situation. Graph the solution on a number line.

Answer 1

Hamid will take 8 hours and 20 minutes to read 375 pages of the book.

Explanation:

Given that Hamid has read 60 pages of the book he will be using for a book report, if he reads 45 pages per hour, to determine how many hours will it take him to read at least 375 pages of the book the following calculation must be done:

375/45 = X

8.3333 = X

0.333 x 60 = 20

Thus, Hamid will take 8 hours and 20 minutes to read 375 pages of the book.
