Question

Jack read 20 pages of a book in 60 minutes. How many pages can he read in 75 minutes at the same rate? Write a proportional equation. Please help me answer this equation!!

Answer 1

25 pages


He read 1 page in 3 minutes for 60 minutes 75 is 15 more than 60 so what time 3 would equal 15 It would be 5 so you would add 5 more pages to the 20 pages and you would get 25

Answer 2

25 pages

Explanation:

Create a proportion:

`(pages)/(minutes)` =
`(20)/(60)` =
`(x)/(75)`

Cross multiply and solve for x, the number of pages in 75 minutes:

60x = 1500

x = 25

So, he can read 25 pages in 75 minutes at the same rate
