Karen can read 10 pages and complete 15 math problems in 30 minutes. How long will it take her to do her homework if she has 30 pages to read and 45 math problems to complete? Your answer should refer to the amount of time in minutes.(1 point)

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem:

10 pages / 15 problems = 30 minutes / x minutes (where x is the time it takes Karen to do her homework)

Now we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

10x = 15 * 30
10x = 450
x = 450 / 10
x = 45

So, it will take Karen 45 minutes to do her homework.
