To find out how many minutes it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we need to determine how many sets of 4 pages make up the 20 pages she needs to read.
20 pages / 4 pages per 10 minutes = 5 sets of 10 minutes.
So, it will take Carla 5 sets of 10 minutes, which is equal to 50 minutes, to read the full assignment.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 50 minutes.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many minutes it will take Carla to read all 20 pages of her science homework. We are given that it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, so we can use this information to find the total time.
First, we need to find out how many sets of 4 pages Carla will need to read to cover all 20 pages. We can divide 20 by 4 to get:
20 pages ÷ 4 pages = 5 sets
Next, we need to find out the total time it takes Carla to read 5 sets of 4 pages. We can multiply the time it takes Carla to read 4 pages (10 minutes) by the number of sets (5) to get:
10 minutes × 5 sets = 50 minutes
Therefore, 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 first need to determine how many sets of 4 pages are in the assignment.
The total number of pages in the assignment is 20.
Divide the total number of pages by the number of pages read in one set, which is 4:
20 ÷ 4 = 5 sets of 4 pages.
Next, we need to determine how many minutes it takes Carla to read one set of 4 pages.
It takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages.
So, it takes Carla 10 minutes to read one set of 4 pages.
Since there are 5 sets of 4 pages in the assignment, we need to multiply the time it takes Carla to read one set by the number of sets:
10 minutes × 5 sets = 50 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
