Question

Can someone please help me with this question. Can you also explain it

Answer 1

She'd read 60 pages in 3 hours. Each gradient is the same because she reads at a constant rate. She reads 40 pages in 2 hours and 80 pages in 4 hours. That means 60/x = 20, hence 3 hours

Answer 2

Draw a line to connect the two points or fine the slope of the equation and calculate the co-responding x co-ordinate of 60


slope =
`(change-in-x)/(change-in-y)`
=
`(80-40)/(4-2)`
=
`(40)/(2)`
= 20

For every hour she reads, she reads 20 pages.
Therefore in 3 hours she reads 60 pages
