Sam is reading a book. He finishes 6 pages of the book in 18 minutes. How many pages would Sam have finished reading in 36 minutes?

12 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fairly straight forward question.

Sam read 6 pages in 18 minutes, and we want to know how many pages he could have finished if he read for 36 minutes.

36 minutes is double the time of 18 minutes.

So we just have to double the 6 pages Sam read into 12 pages and that is the answer.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
