Clyde can read 13.5 pages of a book in 6 minutes. How many more pages can he read in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes?
Clyde can read 13.5 pages of a book in 6 minutes. How many more pages can he read in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes? Assume the relationship is proportional and he reads at a constant rate.
Well, Clyde must have a real page-turner if he's reading at such a speed! Let's calculate how many pages he can read in 15 minutes and in 6 minutes, and then we'll find the difference.
If Clyde can read 13.5 pages in 6 minutes, we can set up a little math circus act:
Pages read per minute = 13.5 / 6 = 2.25 pages/minute
Now, let's see how many pages Clyde can finish in 15 minutes:
Pages read in 15 minutes = 2.25 pages/minute * 15 minutes = 33.75 pages
And in 6 minutes:
Pages read in 6 minutes = 2.25 pages/minute * 6 minutes = 13.5 pages
Now, for the grand finale! The difference between the pages read in 15 and 6 minutes is:
33.75 pages - 13.5 pages = 20.25 pages
So, Clyde can read 20.25 more pages in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes. Quite the reading marathon, isn't it?
To find out how many more pages Clyde can read in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes, we need to calculate the number of pages he can read in each time period.
First, let's calculate his reading speed. Clyde can read 13.5 pages in 6 minutes. To find out how many pages he can read in one minute, we divide the number of pages by the number of minutes: 13.5 pages / 6 minutes = 2.25 pages per minute.
Now, let's calculate the number of pages he can read in 15 minutes. We multiply his reading speed (2.25 pages per minute) by the number of minutes (15 minutes): 2.25 pages/minute * 15 minutes = 33.75 pages.
To find out how many more pages Clyde can read in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes, we subtract the number of pages he can read in 6 minutes from the number of pages he can read in 15 minutes: 33.75 pages - 13.5 pages = 20.25 pages.
Therefore, Clyde can read 20.25 more pages in 15 minutes than in 6 minutes.
he can read 15/6 = 5/2 as much, so hat would be
3/2 * 27/2 = 81/4 = 20 1/4 more pages
