Astudent estimates that it takes 2 hours to read 25 pages. at this rate, how many hours will she need to read 425 pages?

write a proportion that represents this situation. then, solve it.

34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2:25 = x:425

25/2 = 12.5

425/12.5 = 34

so it is 34:425

She will need to read for 34 hours to read 425 pages

25/425 = 2/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply and simplify

850=25x

34=x

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
