In one minute, Mason reads 200 words. In two minutes, he reads 400

words. In three minutes, he reads 600 words. In four minutes, he reads 800
words. If Mason continues to read at the same rate, how many words will
he read in 5 minutes?

Answer:

1,000 words in 5 minutes.

Explanation:

This problem is simple. It has already given us the k, or constant of proportionality, which is for every one minute, Mason has read 200 words!

Now, with that being said, we need to make an equation for 5 minutes. m is the minutes, and the number is the amount of words.

Below is the equation:

m=200

5m=200x5

5m=1,000

The answer is 1,000 words in 5 minutes
