Answer:

8 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

20 pages           x

--------------- = -------------

45 min          18 min

Cross multiplying, we get (18 min)(20 pages) = (45 min)x.

Then x = (18)(20)/(45) pages = 360/45 pages = 8 pages

The number of pages that you can read in 18 minutes is equal to 8 pages.

Given the following data:

  • Number of pages A = 20 pages
  • Time A= 45 minutes
  • Time B =  18 minutes

To determine how many pages you can read in 18 minutes, we would apply direct proportion:

By using direct proportion:

20 pages = 45 minutes

X pages = 18 minutes

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]45X = 18 \times 20\\\\45X = 360\\\\X = \frac{360}{45}[/tex]

X = 8 pages
