Sam needs to read 5 novels each month.

Question

Let N be the number of novels Sam needs to read in M months.

Write an equation relating to .N to M Then use this equation to find the number of novels Sam needs to read in 15 months.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of novels Sam needs to read each month.

Therefore, N = Mx

Using N = Mx, we can find the number of novels Sam needs to read in 15 months:
N = 15x

Since Sam needs to read 5 novels each month (x = 5), we substitute x = 5 into the equation:
N = 15(5)
N = 75

Therefore, Sam needs to read 75 novels in 15 months.
