Question

Justine is trying to read the most pages of all students in her Language Arts class by the end of the year. The table shows the pages Justine read, and the time she read them in.Which of the following would be the best equation for the function of the values for Justine's reading?A.h = 40pB.p = 7hC.40p = hD.p = 40h

Answer 1

Given

Hours (h) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Pages (p) = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280

Procedure

`\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{pages}}{\text{hours}}=(40)/(1)=(80)/(2) \\ (p)/(h)=40 \\ p=40h \end{gathered}`

The answer would be p = 40h
