Question

Shryia read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a constant rate. After reading for 1.5, point, 5 hours, she had 402 out of the total 480 pages left to read.

Answer 1

y = -52x + 480

Explanation:

Let us assume the number of pages left be x

And, the number of hours is x

According to the question

Data given is as follows

Number of hours 1.5 and 5

Total pages 480

Left pages 402

Based on the above information,

The computation is shown below;

Pages read by Shriya in 1.5 hours is

= Total pages in the book - left pages to read

= 480 pages - 402 pages

= 78 pages

And, there is 1.5 hours

So in one hour she read

= 78 pages ÷ 1.5 hours

= 52 pages per hour

So, the equation is

y = -52x + 480
