Question

Sam read 75 pages of a new mystery novel in 2 hours. If the book contains 350 pages and he always reads at the same rate, how long will it take him to the read the entire novel?

Answer 1

Divide 350 pages by 75 pages,

350÷75 = 4 2/3

So it is going to take him 4 2/3 times as long to read the 350 pages.

2 * 4 2/3 = 9 1/3 hours

it will take him 9 1/3 hours to read 350 pages.

The end.
