To find the answer, we need to look for a pattern in the relationship between time and the number of pages remaining.
Looking at the table, we can see that the number of pages remaining decreases by 40 every hour.
So, for every hour of time (t), the number of pages remaining (N) decreases by 40.
To write this relationship as an equation, we can use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In this case, the slope is -40, because the number of pages remaining decreases by 40 every hour.
The y-intercept is the initial number of pages, which is 360 in this case.
Therefore, the equation that describes the relationship between t and N is N = -40t + 360.
The correct answer is B. N = -40t + 360.
Monique is reading a book. The table shows how the number of pages remaining in the book is changing over time.
