## Thats_Kyy one year ago Jolie can read around 14 sentences per minute of her current novel. She wants to finish her reading before the movie comes out next week. If she has 17 pages left to read and each page has about 120 sentences, how many hours should Jolie set aside to complete her reading?

5. Nnesha

substitute g(x) for 20 then solve for x $\huge\rm 20=2(x-4)$

i dont want an answer i just need understanding

8. mathstudent55

Let's calculate it minutes first, then we will convert the answer to hours.

9. Thats_Kyy

okay

10. Thats_Kyy

Soo Hours=60minutes

11. mathstudent55

If she has 17 pages left, and each page has 120 sentences, how many sentences total are there left to read?

12. mathstudent55

Yes. We will use 1 hour = 60 minutes at the end to convert to hours, but let's find the number of minutes first.

13. Thats_Kyy

2040

14. Thats_Kyy

2040 sentences

15. mathstudent55

Good. She has to read 2040 sentences. She takes 1 minute to read 14 sentences. 2040 sentences is how many times 14 sentences?

16. Thats_Kyy

28560

17. Thats_Kyy

no

18. Thats_Kyy

wait

19. mathstudent55

No. The other way around. This time you need to divide.

20. Thats_Kyy

okay

21. Thats_Kyy

145.7

22. Thats_Kyy

@mathstudent55

23. mathstudent55

Good. Since 2040 is 145.7 times 14, that means she needs 145.7 times 1 minute. That means she needs 145.7 minutes.

24. mathstudent55

Now we convert minutes to hours.

25. Thats_Kyy

so divide 145.7/60

@Nnesha

28. Thats_Kyy

29. Thats_Kyy

what do you mean?

30. mathstudent55

Correct. Divide 145.7 by 60 to get hours.

31. Thats_Kyy

okay so i do i write and explanation

32. Thats_Kyy

do i write the steps

33. mathstudent55

You write: She needs to read 17 pages with 120 sentences in each page. 17 * 120 = 2040 She needs to read 2040 sentences. She reads 14 sentences in 1 minute. 2040/14 = 145.7 minutes. She needs 145.7 minutes. 1 hour = 60 minutes 145.7/60 = 2.4 hours

34. Thats_Kyy

Yoooooo Thamksss

35. Thats_Kyy

Now I understand It

36. mathstudent55

Great. You're welcome.
