To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the number of minutes it will take Carla to read the full assignment.
We are given that Carla can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, so we can set up the proportion:
4 pages / 10 minutes = 20 pages / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
4x = 200
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 50
Therefore, it will take Carla 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
The correct answer is:
50 minutes
