during a reading test, mike reads a passage with 640 words, it takes him 4 minutes to read the passage. How many would it take mike to read a passage that has 800 words.

Answer 1

To find out how long it would take Mike to read a passage with 800 words, we can set up a proportion:

640 words / 4 minutes = 800 words / x minutes

Cross multiplying:

640 * x = 800 * 4

Dividing both sides by 640:

x = (800 * 4) / 640

x = 5 minutes

So it would take Mike 5 minutes to read a passage with 800 words.
