Clara needs to complete her science homework. She has 20 pages to read and 14 questions to answer if it takes Clara 10 minutes to read four pages. How many minutes will it take her to read the full assignment
If Clara takes 10 minutes to read 4 pages, she reads at a rate of 10/4 = <<10/4=2.5>>2.5 pages per minute.
Therefore, Clara will take 20 / 2.5 = <<20/2.5=8>>8 minutes to read the full 20 pages. Answer: \boxed{8}.
To find out how many minutes it will take for Clara to read the full assignment, we need to determine how many sets of four pages are in the 20-page assignment and then multiply that by the time it takes Clara to read four pages.
To determine the number of sets of four pages in the 20-page assignment, we divide the total number of pages (20) by the number of pages Clara can read in one session (4).
20 pages / 4 pages = 5 sets of four pages in the assignment
Now, we need to calculate the total time it takes Clara to read four pages. Since Clara takes 10 minutes to read four pages, we multiply that by the number of sets of four pages in the assignment.
10 minutes/set * 5 sets = 50 minutes
Therefore, it will take Clara 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
To find out how many minutes it will take Clara to read the full assignment, we need to determine the number of pages she can read per minute and then divide the total number of pages by that rate.
Given that Clara takes 10 minutes to read four pages, we can calculate her reading rate as follows:
Reading rate = 4 pages / 10 minutes
Reading rate = 0.4 pages per minute
Now, to find out how many minutes it will take her to read the full assignment, we can divide the total number of pages (20) by her reading rate:
Time to read full assignment = Total pages / Reading rate
Time to read full assignment = 20 pages / 0.4 pages per minute
Time to read full assignment = 50 minutes
Therefore, it will take Clara approximately 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
