Question

It takes Amy 18 minutes to read 4 pages of a book. The Hunger Games has 374 pages, Catching Fire has 391 pages, Mockingjay has 517 pages and the newest book, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, has 390 pages. If she has already read The Hunger Games, how long will it take her to read the rest of the book series?

help please
explain to please!!​

Answer 1

It is likely that Amy will need to read more than 1,050 pages as each remaining book has significantly more than 350 pages, adding up to a total that exceeds 1,050.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about how long it will take Amy to read the remaining books in a series, given the time it takes her to read a specific number of pages. Since we know that it takes Amy 18 minutes to read 4 pages, we can calculate her reading speed as 4 pages per 18 minutes or 1 page per 4.5 minutes. The total number of pages in the remaining books is 391 (for Catching Fire) + 517 (for Mockingjay) + 390 (for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes).

Without doing any calculations, it is likely that Amy will need to read more than 1,050 pages in total since each of the remaining books individually has more than 350 pages, and two of them have nearly or more than 400 pages.

Answer 2

5841 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

first divide 18 by 4 giving you 4.5 minutes

next add the page number of all the books (excluding The Hunger Games) giving you 1298 pages

and finally multiply 4.5 by 1298 giving you 5841

hope this helped!
