Answer:
Sam will finish 42 pages in 126 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of pages read by Sam = 6
Time taken to read these pages = 18 minutes
Rate at which Sam is reading the pages of the book = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of pages read}}{\text{Time taken to read these pages}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6}{18}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pages per minute
Number of pages read in 126 minutes = Rate of reading × Time
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times 126[/tex]
= 42 pages
Therefore, Sam will finish 42 pages in 126 minutes.
