To find out how many pages Lexi can read in 36 minutes, you can set up a proportion using the information given.

First, you need to determine the rate at which Lexi reads. You are given that she can read 10 pages in 6 minutes. This can be expressed as the ratio of 10 pages to 6 minutes, or 10/6.

Next, you can set up a proportion using this ratio. Let's call the number of pages Lexi can read in 36 minutes "x".

10/6 = x/36

To solve for x, you can cross-multiply:

6x = 10 * 36

6x = 360

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the variable:

x = 360/6

x = 60

Therefore, Lexi can read 60 pages in 36 minutes.

10/6 = x/36

Solve for x.
