Take the time to evaluate the word problem and note the important facts.

Step 1:

Calculate the time to read one page of the Novel.

1. Use division to determine the time to read on page per minute.

1. 18 minutes divided by 4 pages = 4.5 minutes per page.

Step 2:

Calculate the total time to read the novel.

1. Multiply the time per page by the total number of pages.

1. minutes take to read one page = 4. 5 minutes per page
2. total number of novel pages = 326

1. 4.5 x 326 = 1467 minutes

I hope the mathematical calculations (step by step approach) was helpful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.

Answer 2

My first question is how much does she understand? Reading fast doesn’t always mean that you’re reading well. Divide the total number of pages by four. Then multiplied by 18 and divide by 60 in order to get the number of hours. If done correctly you should get 24 hours and 45 minutes.

Answer 3

18 / 4 = m / 326

18 = 4m / 326

(18)(326) = 4m

Calculate m and devide by 60 to get hours and minutes
