Question

Kiran read for x minutes, and andre read for 1/8 more than that. identify an equation that represents the number of minutes kiran read with y representing the number of minutes that andre read. use decimals in the equation.

Answer 1

Rounded to the nearest thousandth y = 1.625 x.

if Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read 5/8 more than that, then Andre read for

`y = x + (5)/(8) x = (13)/(8) x`

So, the equation relating the number of minutes Kiran read (

x) with the number of minutes Andre read (

y) would be:

`y = x + (5)/(8) x = (13)/(8) x`

Rounded to the nearest thousandth y = 1.625 x
