Bob reads 1/2 of a 200 page book in 4 days. How long would it take him to read 600 page book

Sagot :

24 days

1) Consider that Bob reads at a regular pace. So, we can write out a pair of ratios. Note that if Bob reads half of a 200 pages book so he does 100 pages in 4 days

[tex]\begin{gathered} pages--------days \\ 100---------4 \\ 600---------x \end{gathered}[/tex]

2) So writing out a pair of ratios we have:

[tex]\frac{100}{600}=\frac{4}{x}[/tex]

Now, we can cross multiply them:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 100x=600\cdot4 \\ 100x=2400 \\ \frac{100x}{100}=\frac{2400}{100} \\ x=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]
