Answer 1

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

Pages read/Hours = Pages read/Hours

Let x be the number of pages Brian can read in 3.5 hours.

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.
