Answer:

He will read 72 chapters in 1 day

Explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve this question

∵ Sam read 6 chapters in 2 hours

∵ He continues to read at this same rate for 1 day

→ We must change the day to hours

∵ 1 day = 24 hours

∴ We need to find how many chapters he will read in 24 hours

→ Chapter : Hour

→ 6 : 2

→ x : 24

→ By using cross multiplication

x × 2 = 6 × 24

∴ 2x = 144

→ Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2) =
(144)/(2)

x = 72

He will read 72 chapters in 1 day
