Question

If Aarushi reads 8 pages everyday she can
finish a book in 15 days. Calculate the
time she will take to finish the same book
if she reads 6 pages everyday.​

Answer 1

Answer:

SHE WILL TAKE 20 DAYS

Step-by-step explanation:

Aarushi reads 8 pages everyday

IF SHE READS 8 PAGES EACH DAY SHE FINISHES THE BOOK IN 15 DAYS

SO, 8:15

IF SHE READS 6 PAGES EVERYDAY SHE WILL FINISH THE BOOK IN X (DAYS) THEN

8:15::6:X

SINCE THE NUMBER OF PAGES READ AND DAYS TAKEN TO READ ARE INVERSALLY PROPORTIONAL

8*15=6*X

120=6X

120/6=X=>20 DAYS

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the time be =x

pages finish a book

8 15

6 x

then we will cross multiply

x x 8= 6 x 15

8x= 90

x = 90/8

x= 11. 25
