Carla needs to complete her science homework. She has 20 pages to read and 14 questions to answer. If it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, how many minutes will it take her to read the full assignment?(1 point) Responses
Carla needs to read 20 pages. If she can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, she can read 1 page in 10/4 = <<10/4=2.5>>2.5 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Carla 20*2.5 = <<20*2.5=50>>50 minutes to read the full assignment. Answer: \boxed{50}.
To find out how long it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we can break down the problem into steps:
1. Calculate the number of times Carla needs to read 4 pages to cover the 20 pages.
- Since Carla needs to read 20 pages and she can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, she needs to read 20/4 = 5 sets of 4 pages.
2. Calculate the total time it will take Carla to read the full assignment.
- Since Carla can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, and she needs to read 5 sets of 4 pages, it will take her 10 * 5 = 50 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
To calculate the time it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we first need to find out how many pages Carla can read in one minute.
Since Carla can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, we can calculate her reading speed by dividing the number of pages (4) by the time it takes her to read them (10 minutes).
4 pages / 10 minutes = 0.4 pages per minute.
To find out how long it will take Carla to read 20 pages, we then divide the total number of pages (20) by Carla's reading speed (0.4 pages per minute):
20 pages / 0.4 pages per minute = 50 minutes.
So, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
