Lin is reading a 47page book. She read the first 20 pages in 35 minutes. If she continues to read at the same rate will she be able to complete this book In under 1 hour

Answer 1

If it takes Lin 35 minutes to read 20 pages, it will take her 25 minutes to read 20 more pages:

35 minutes = 20 pages

70 minutes = 40 pages

At 70 minutes (10 minutes past an hour, Lin will have only read 40 pages). She won't be able to complete this book in under 1 hour if she continues to read at the same rate.
