Bob is reading a 300-page book. After one hour, he had finished 8% of the book. Assuming that he reads at a constant rate, how many more hours will it take him to read the rest of the book?
0.08 * 300 = 24 pages in one hour
300 - 24 = 276 pages left
276/24 = ______ hours to finish
To find out how many more hours it will take Bob to read the rest of the book, we need to know how much of the book he can read in one hour. Since Bob has already read 8% of the book in one hour, we can calculate how much he can read in one hour by dividing 8% by 1, which equals 0.08.
Next, let's calculate how much of the book Bob still needs to read. Since he has finished 8% of the book, he still needs to read 100% - 8% = 92% of the book.
Now, we can find out how many more hours it will take Bob to read the rest of the book by dividing the remaining percentage (92%) by the amount he can read in one hour (0.08).
92% / 0.08 = 1150
Therefore, it will take Bob approximately 1150 more hours to read the rest of the book.
