Question

It takes Max 9 minutes to read 10 pages of his book. Which equation represents the relationship between the number of pages, p, that Max can read and the number of minutes, m?

Answer 1

p = 10(m/9)

Answer 2

Hi Jessi,

 

If the question is asking how many pages that Max can read per minute, then the equation is p/m = 10/9 =  1.111111111

 

If the question is asking how many minutes Max needs to read each page, then the equation is m/p = 9/10 = 0.9
