Answer 1

To find out how many pages Brian can read in 3.5 hours, we can set up a proportion:

Pages read / Time = Pages read / Time

80 / 2 = x / 3.5

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2x = 80 * 3.5

2x = 280

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 140

Therefore, Brian can read 140 pages in 3.5 hours.
