x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, x represents the number of hour kiran read,
According to the question,
The number of hours Andre read = 5/8 more than the number of hour kiran read
= 5/8 more than x
= x + 5/8 of x
= x + \frac{5x}{8}x+
8
5x
= \frac{8x+5x}{8}
8
8x+5x
= \frac{13x}{8}
8
13x
Since, y represents the number of hours Andre read,
⇒ y=\frac{13x}{8}y=
8
13x
Which is the requited equation.
