Kasi is making a scrapbook of her trip to Europe. If she creates 7 pages in 2 hours, which is a reasonable estimate of the amount of time it will take her to create a 50-page scrapbook?
Responses
A between 16 and 17 hours
B between 13 and 14 hours
C between 15 and 16 hours
D between 17 and 18 hours
E between 14 and 15 hours
To find the estimate, we can set up a proportion.
7 pages / 2 hours = 50 pages / x hours
Cross-multiplying, we get:
7x = 100
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 14.3
So a reasonable estimate is between 14 and 15 hours (option E).
