Jemma read 16 pages of her book in 40 minutes. If she continues at that pace, how log will it take her to read the next 24 pages?
40/16 = x/24
Solve for x.
10
To find out how long it will take Jemma to read the next 24 pages at the same pace, we need to determine how many pages she reads per minute, and then use that information to calculate the time needed.
First, we can find Jemma's reading speed by calculating the number of pages she reads per minute. We divide the number of pages she reads (16) by the time (40 minutes).
Reading speed = 16 pages / 40 minutes
Next, we can use this reading speed to calculate the time it will take Jemma to read the next 24 pages.
Time to read 24 pages = Number of pages / Reading speed
Time to read 24 pages = 24 pages / (16 pages / 40 minutes)
Simplifying this equation:
Time to read 24 pages = 24 pages * (40 minutes / 16 pages)
Time to read 24 pages = 60 minutes
Therefore, it will take Jemma 60 minutes to read the next 24 pages if she continues at the same pace.
