18 pages per hour in first sitting.
18 pages per hour in second sitting.

Seems like there is no variation.

anonymous · Answer

wouldnt that be a direct variation?

anonymous · Answer

y = 18x, where x = number of hours and y = number of pages read

anonymous · Answer

yes funinabox is correct this is direct variation with k = 18

anonymous · Answer

I am not fresh with terminology. My point is that the rate of reading is constant. :)

anonymous · Answer

Ratio k: 36/2 = 54/ 3 = 18
Direct variation because the pages increasing when the hour increasing!
