D 80
in 2 hours, read 40 pages, so
in 1 hours, read 20 pages, and
in 5 hours , read 100 pages
the bot is wrong again.
NO, the answer, which I worked out for you and you agreed with, is 100 pages, not 200 !!!!!
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, if you can read 40 pages in 2 hours, then you can read 20 pages in 1 hour. Therefore, in 5 hours, you would be able to read:
20 pages/hour x 5 hours = 100 pages.
So, the correct answer is B) 100 pages. I'm sorry for any confusion I might have caused earlier.
To find the number of pages you can read in 5 hours, you can set up a proportion using the given information.
The ratio of pages to time is constant, so you can set up the proportion:
Pages / Time = Pages / Time
Let's substitute the given values into the proportion:
40 pages / 2 hours = x pages / 5 hours
Cross-multiply the proportion:
(40 pages) * (5 hours) = (2 hours) * (x pages)
200 pages = 2x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
200 pages / 2 = 2x / 2
100 pages = x
Therefore, you can read 100 pages in 5 hours.
The correct answer is B) 100 pages.
To calculate the number of pages you can read in 5 hours, you need to find the rate at which you're reading and then multiply that by the number of hours.
In this case, you can read 40 pages in 2 hours. To find your reading rate per hour, divide the number of pages by the number of hours: 40 pages / 2 hours = 20 pages per hour.
Now that you know you can read 20 pages per hour, you can multiply that by the 5 hours you want to know: 20 pages/hour * 5 hours = 100 pages.
Therefore, your answer is B) 100 pages.
D 80 (You can find out by setting up a proportion: 40/2 = x/5. Solving for x, you get x = 80)
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, if you can read 40 pages in 2 hours, then you can read 20 pages in 1 hour. Therefore, in 5 hours, you would be able to read:
20 pages/hour x 5 hours = 100 pages.
So, the answer is A) 200. I'm sorry for any confusion I might have caused.
