Carla needs to complete her science homework. She has 20 pages to read and 14 questions to answer. If it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, how many minutes will it take her to read the full assignment?(1 point) Responses 50 minutes 50 minutes 9 minutes 9 minutes 35 minutes 35 minutes 85 minutes
To read 20 pages, Carla will take (20/4) * 10 minutes = 50 minutes. Answer: \boxed{50}.
First, we need to figure out how long it will take Carla to read one page. We can do this by dividing the total number of pages she needs to read by the number of minutes it takes her to read that many pages.
Carla can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, so we divide 10 minutes by 4 pages to find how long it takes her to read 1 page.
10 minutes ÷ 4 pages = 2.5 minutes per page
Now that we know Carla can read 1 page in 2.5 minutes, we can find out how long it will take her to read 20 pages by multiplying the time per page by the number of pages.
2.5 minutes per page x 20 pages = 50 minutes
So, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
To find out how many minutes it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we need to determine how many 4-page portions are in the 20-page assignment. This can be done by dividing 20 by 4:
20 pages ÷ 4 pages = 5 portions
Since it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, we can multiply the number of portions by the time it takes to read each portion:
5 portions × 10 minutes = 50 minutes
Therefore, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
So the correct response is: 50 minutes
