Answer:
9hrs and 20mins
Step-by-step explanation:
no. of pages time taken
75 2hrs
350 ?
We can set this up as a relation and solve for the unknown.
Let x = # hrs
2hrs / 75pgs = x / 350pgs (the relation
)
(350pgs) (2hrs / 75pgs) = x (divide both sides by 350 to isolate x
)
9-1 / 3hrs = x (solve for x
)
1 / 3 hr = 20mins
So, it should take Sam 9hrs and 20mins to read the entire novel.
