Question

Carla reads 36 pages in 3 hours. At this

rate, how long will it take Carla to read a
book with 180 pages?

Answer 1

It will take 15 hours to read a book with 180 pages

Explanation:

First, let's set up a ratio to find how many pages she reads per hour:

36:3 = 12:1

Now we can set up fractions to solve:

`(12)/(1) =(180)/(x)`

Cross multiply:

`12x=180`

Divide each side by 12:

`x=15`

Answer 2

180/36 is 5 so 5 times 3=15
