Question

Kiran read for x minutes, and Andre read for 5/8 more than that. Write an equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read with y, the number of minutes that Andre read. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Complete the equation below

y = _______________

Use x as your variable.

Answer 1

Answer: $y=\frac{13}{8}x$

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

= $x + \frac{5x}{8}$

= $\frac{8x+5x}{8}$

= $\frac{13x}{8}$

Since, y represents the number of hours Andre read,

⇒ $y=\frac{13x}{8}$

Which is the requited equation.
