To complete the table, we can use the information that Danielle reads 10 pages every 5 minutes. We can calculate the number of pages read for each time interval.

Let's fill in the table based on the given data:

| Minutes | Pages read | |---------|------------| | 5 | 10 | | 10 | 20 | | 15 | 30 | | 20 | 40 |

Now let's graph the data. Here's how you can plot the points on a graph:

  1. X-axis: Minutes (0, 5, 10, 15, 20)
  2. Y-axis: Pages read (0, 10, 20, 30, 40)

You can plot the following points based on the completed table:

  • (5, 10)
  • (10, 20)
  • (15, 30)
  • (20, 40)

After plotting the points, connect them with a straight line since the relationship between time and pages read is linear.

Questions

  1. How many pages does Danielle read in 20 minutes?

    • Answer: 40 pages.
  2. If Danielle continues reading at the same pace, how many pages will she read in 30 minutes?

    • Calculation: In 30 minutes, she will read 10 pages every 5 minutes for a total of 6 intervals (30 minutes / 5 minutes = 6). Therefore, 6 intervals * 10 pages = 60 pages.
  3. If the book has 150 pages, how many more minutes will it take Danielle to finish the book after 20 minutes?

    • Calculation: She has read 40 pages in 20 minutes. Pages remaining = 150 - 40 = 110 pages. Time to read 110 pages = (110 pages / 10 pages per 5 minutes) * 5 minutes = 55 minutes.
  4. What is Danielle's reading rate in pages per minute?

    • Answer: She reads 2 pages per minute (10 pages / 5 minutes = 2 pages per minute).
