Marie's book club read 42 books over 14 months. How many total months will it take them to read 57 books? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

To find the total months it will take to read 57 books, we can set up a unit rate problem.

First, find the unit rate of books read per month:
42 books / 14 months = 3 books/month

Then, divide the total number of books (57) by the unit rate to find the number of months:
57 books / 3 books/month = <<57/3=19>>19 months.

Therefore, it will take Marie's book club a total of 19 months to read 57 books.
