Part 1: The correct equation is 48 pages/3 hours = n pages/8 hours.
Part 2: To solve for n, we can set up a proportion:
48/3 = n/8
Simplifying the equation, we get:
16 = n/8
Multiplying both sides by 8, we find:
n = 16 * 8
n = 128 pages
Therefore, Lori read 128 pages in 8 hours.
The correct answer is B) 128.
Lori read a total of 48 pages in 3 hours.
Part 1: Assuming the relationship is directly proportional, which equation gives the number of pages, n, that Lori read in 8 hours?
Equations:
n pages/48 pages = 3 hours/8 hours
3 hours/48 pages = n pages/8 hours
48 pages/3 hours = 8 hours/n pages
48 pages/3 hours = n pages/8 hours
Part 2: How many pages did Lori read in 8 hours?
Options:
A 96
B 128
C 192
D 256
