To determine the relationship between t and N, we can look at how the number of pages remaining decreases over time.
The number of pages remaining decreases by 40 pages every hour. So, the rate of change is -40 pages per hour.
Since Monique starts with 360 pages, the initial number of pages remaining can be represented by the equation N = 360.
The equation that describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book is:
N = -40t + 360
Therefore, the 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.
Time (hours) Number of Pages Remaining
0 360
1 320
2 280
3 240
4 200
Which equation describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book?
A. N=-40t -360
B. N=-40t+ 360
C. N =40t+360
D. N=40t-360
