Michael takes three minutes to read 2 pages in his book. At this rate, how long will it take him to read a 268 page book.
how-many 2-page groups? Each takes 3 minutes. So:
(268/2)*3
if Lanine reads 200 pages in 30 minutes, how long will it take her?
Mike can read 15 pages of a book in 24 minutes. At this rate, how many minutes will it take mike to read 45 pages of the book?
To determine how long it will take Michael to read a 268-page book, we first need to find out how many "two-page sets" are in the book. Since Michael takes 3 minutes to read 2 pages, we can write it as a proportion:
2 pages / 3 minutes = 268 pages / x minutes
To solve for x (the time it takes for Michael to read the entire book), we can cross-multiply the proportions:
2 * x = 3 * 268
2x = 804
Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to find the value of x:
x = 804 / 2
x = 402
Therefore, it will take Michael 402 minutes to read the 268-page book.
