The best prediction for the time to read 18 pages is 15 minutes

The table entry is given as:

Pages Time

10 8

12 11

5 4

26 22

20 17

From the table, 18 pages is between 12 and 20 pages.

This means that, the time to read a chapter that has 18 pages must be between the time to read a chapter of 12 and 20 pages.

It takes 11 minutes to read 12 pages, and 17 minutes to read 20 pages.

So, the time to read 18 pages must be between 11 minutes and 17 minutes.

From the given options, 15 is between 11 and 17

Hence, the best prediction for the time to read 18 pages is 15 minutes
