Question

Manuel needs to read 6 novels each month. Let N be the number of novels Manuel needs to read in M months. Write an equation relating N to M . Then use this equation to find the number of novels Manuel needs to read in 13 months.

Answer 1

Each month Manuel reads 6 novels so you get

`n = 6m`
If you plug in 13 for m we get

`n = 6(13) = 78`
Manuel needs to read 78 novels in 13 months.

Answer 2

Answer: The number of novels he read in 13 months = 78.

Explanation:

Given : Manuel needs to read 6 novels each month.

i.e. In One month , the number of novels read by Manuel = 6

Let N be the number of novels Manuel needs to read in M months.

Then , N = 6 M

Thus , the equation relating N to M : N = 6 M

If Number of months = 13 , then put M = 13 in the above equations , we get

`N=6(13)= 78`

Hence, the number of novels he read in 13 months = 78.
