Answer 1

According to the question, Andre read for 5/8 minutes more than Kiran. So, Andre read for x + 5/8 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with the number of minutes Andre read, we can use the information given.

Let's assume Kiran read for x minutes.

According to the question, Andre read for 5/8 minutes more than Kiran.

So, Andre read for x + 5/8 minutes.

We can write the equation as:

x + 5/8 = y

Answer 2

y=x+0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x represents the number of hour kiran read,

According to the question,

The number of hours Andre read = 5/8 more than the number of hour kiran read

= 5/8 more than x

= x + 5/8 of x
