Math Problem Statement

Kiran reads 5 pages in 20 minutes. He spends the same amount of time per page. 

How long will it take him to read 11 pages?

Solution

To solve this problem, we start by finding how long it takes Kiran to read 1 page.

Kiran reads 5 pages in 20 minutes. So, the time per page is:

20 minutes5 pages=4 minutes per page.\frac{20 \text{ minutes}}{5 \text{ pages}} = 4 \text{ minutes per page}.

Now, to find out how long it will take Kiran to read 11 pages, we multiply the time per page by the number of pages:

4 minutes/page×11 pages=44 minutes.4 \text{ minutes/page} \times 11 \text{ pages} = 44 \text{ minutes}.

Thus, it will take Kiran 44 minutes to read 11 pages.

  3. If Kiran speeds up and reads 1 page in 3 minutes, how long will it take him to read 11 pages?
  4. How much time does Kiran save if he skips reading 2 pages out of 11?
  5. What would happen if Kiran increased his reading speed by 25%?

Tip: When solving problems with constant rates, use the ratio of time to amount (e.g., pages) to simplify calculations.
