Question

It took Beth 16 minutes to read 8 pages of a book. If she reads at a constant rate, how long did it take Beth to read 5 pages?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It would be ten. Because it took her 16 minutes to read 8 pages and 8 pages times 2 minutes each page = 16 minutes, so 5 pages times 2 minutes each page = 10

Answer 2

Explanation:

10 minutes

if it took her 16 minutes to read 8 pages then that means it takes her 2 minutes to read one page. 2 times 5 is 10
