Andrianna can read 7pages in 10 minutes. At this rate how many pages can she read in 25 minutes?
19
7/10 = x/25
solve for x
To find out how many pages Andrianna can read in 25 minutes, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's assign variables:
Let x be the number of pages that Andrianna can read in 25 minutes.
According to the given rate, we know that:
7 pages can be read in 10 minutes.
Setting up the proportion:
7 pages / 10 minutes = x pages / 25 minutes
To solve this proportion, we can use cross-multiplication:
7 * 25 = 10 * x
Simplifying the equation:
175 = 10x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 10:
175 / 10 = x
17.5 = x
Therefore, Andrianna can read 17.5 pages in 25 minutes.
However, since pages cannot be read in fractions, we can round down the answer. Hence, Andrianna can read approximately 17 pages in 25 minutes.
