Kasi is making a scrapbook of her trip to Europe. If she creates 7 pages in 2 hours, which is a reasonable estimate of the amount of time it will take her to create a 50-page scrapbook?

Question

Responses
A between 16 and 17 hours
B between 13 and 14 hours
C between 15 and 16 hours
D between 17 and 18 hours
E between 14 and 15 hours

Answer 1

To find the estimate, we can set up a proportion.

7 pages / 2 hours = 50 pages / x hours

Cross-multiplying, we get:

7x = 100

Dividing both sides by 7:

x = 14.3

So a reasonable estimate is between 14 and 15 hours (option E).
