To find out how many pages Brian can read in 3.5 hours, we can set up a proportion. The ratio of pages read to hours is the same, so we can write:
80 pages / 2 hours = x pages / 3.5 hours
To find x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
2 * x = 80 * 3.5
2x = 280
x = 280 / 2
x = 140
Therefore, Brian can read 140 pages in 3.5 hours.
Brian can read 80 pages in 2 hours. How many pages can he read in 3.5 hours? (1 point)
