Question

Deon needs to read 3 novels each month. Let N be the number of novels Deon needs to read in M months. Write an equation relating N to M. Then use this equation to find the number of novels Deon needs to read in 15 months.

Answer 1

Deon needs to read 3 Novels per Month, so we have 3 N per M or N = 3 M (if we enter 1 month, we will get 3 novels needed to be read. we can also check the correctness of the equation using units: let N have unit 'novels', and M have unit 'months. We are given the information that Deon has to read 3 novels per month, so that's 3 novels/ month. N = ((3 novels/month)*(month)) = 3 novels). To find how many novels he needs to reed in 15 months, we will input M as 15: N = 3 * (15).
