In a really exciting part of the book, the student read 18 pages in
one sitting. For how many minutes did she read?

Answer 1

the student read for 36 minutes

Explanation:

so for each night minutes read is going to represent the minutes read and y is going to represent the pages read. This means that 18 should be substituted in for y.

18=1/2x

so to solve you are going to divide both sides by 1/2

36=x
