Question

Maria can read 10 pages of a book in 25 minutes. How many pages can she read in 120 minutes?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

25x4.8=120

10×4.8=48

I got 4.8 by doing this:

I already knew that 25×5 would equal 125.

but since they wanted 120, I instead multiplied 25 by 4 with decimals from 1-10 until I got 120, then I multiplied that with the 10 pages to get my answer.
