Weston read a total of 12 books over 3 months. If the amount he read is directly proportional to the time, how many months have passed if he read 24 books?

Respuesta :

6 months.

Because, weston can only read a total of 12 books in 3 months. So we just add it up ...
12+12= 24
3months + 3months = 6 months

Writing and solving an equation of ratios would be the best way to go here.


24 books x

--------------- = ------------

12 books 3 mo


Then 12x=72, and x = 6. It will take Weston 6 months to read 24 books.
