Question

Nathan read a total of 630 pages over 30 hours. In all, how many hours of reading will Nathan have to do this week in order to have read a total of 714 pages? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

34 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Nathan read a total of 630 pages over 30 hours.

We need to find times of reading will Nathan have to do this week in order to have read a total of 714 pages.

1 page can be read in
`(30)/(630)\ \text{hours}`

To read 714 pages, it will take

`(30)/(630)* 714\ \text{hours}\\\\=34\ \text{hours}`

Hence, it will take 34 hours to read 714 pages.
