Question 948532: A student reads 3⁄5 of a book in 30 minutes. How much of the book will be read, if the student reads at the same speed for 40 minutes?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think you mean 3/5 of a book in 30 minutes.
3/5 book/30 min=0.02 book/min
So in 40 minutes:
(40 min)(0.02 book/min)=0.8 book
ANSWER: The student will read 0.8 (or 80%) of the book in 40 minutes
