Answer 1

well thats easy, just divde

Answer 2

if its 15 per /2 h

Answer 3

so for instance 30 pages will be 4 hrs

Answer 4

pages = k*(#hours)

Answer 5

and 45 will be 6 hrs so theres a great enough example i made it plain and simple

Answer 6

use the point (2 , 150), and find the constant k, for the line, through the origin

Answer 7

also you can multiply 15 pages per hrs in your answer to see what you get

Answer 8

use the point (2 , 15)

pages = k*hours
15 = k* 2 k = 15/2 pages per hour

pages = (15/2)*(hours)

Answer 9

150 = (15/2) * (hours)

hours = ...

Answer 10

\[hours = \frac{ 150 * 2 }{ 15 }\]

Answer 11

well ill just go up to 60 pages... 60 is 8 hrs there just keep that going or do what dan said above as another method which works for you :}

Answer 12

it think the answer is 20 hours

Answer 13

yep

Answer 14

the rate of reading is 15/2 pages per hour

it is a direct variation y = (15/2)x where y=pages and x=hours

let y = 150 pages, solve for x, you get 20 , in case you want to know how to go about it
