To find out how long it will take Jose to read the entire 175-page book, we can use a proportion equation.
First, we need to determine the number of intervals it will take Jose to read the whole book. We can set up a proportion using the ratio of pages read to time taken:
7 pages / 5 minutes = 175 pages / x minutes
To solve for x (the time it will take to read the entire book), we can cross-multiply:
7x = 5 * 175
Now, we can solve for x:
7x = 875
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 125
Therefore, it will take Jose 125 minutes to read the entire 175-page book at the given rate.
7/5 = 175/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
