Question

Shinji reads

25 pages of a book every night.
1. Write an equation that represents how many pages Shinji reads (
p) in some number of nights (n)
2. How many pages does Shinji read in
8 nights?

Answer 1

Answer: 200 pages in 8 nights

Step-by-step explanation: 200 pages in 8 nights

Answer 2

1. p(n) = 25 n
2. 200 pages

Explanation:

1.

Shinji reads 25 pages of a book in 1 night.

25 pages = 1 night

Pages Shinji reads (p) in some number of nights (n)

Multiply both sides by n.

=> 25 × n = 1n

=> 25 × n = p(n)

=> 25 n = p(n) (Required equation)

=> p(n) = 25 n

2. How many pages does Shinji read in 8 nights?

• n = 8 nights

Shinji reads 25 pages of a book in 1 night.

=> p(n) = 25 n

Plugging the value of n here,

=> p(8) = 25 × 8

=> p(8) = 200 pages

Henceforth Shinji reads 200 pages in 8 nights
