The correct answer is 50 minutes.
To find out how long it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we can set up a proportion:
10 minutes / 4 pages = x minutes / 20 pages
Cross multiplying, we get:
4x = 10 * 20
Simplifying, we find:
4x = 200
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 50
Therefore, Carla will need 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
