A student reads 2⁄5 of a book in 45 minutes. How much of the book will be read if the student reads at the same speed for 70 minutes? Write your answer as a fraction of a book.
first, you want to find out how far they can read in 1 minute, so you divide 2/5 ÷45, which equals 2/225. You then multiply that by 70 to get your answer.
