if she has read 25% then she has 75% left to read.....3 times what she has read already
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so if if took 5 hours to read 25% then it will take 3(5)=15 hours to read the rest.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you could set this up as a proportion
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\".25%2F5=.75%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5(.75)=.25x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x=15 hours \n" ); document.write( "
