Answer:
26 pages and two thirds of another one
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a direct proportion exercise.
You see, the more time she spends reading, the more she reads.
Since the reading speed (pages/minute) is constant, here's what we can write:
[tex]\frac{pages1}{time1}=\frac{pages2}{time2}[/tex]
which is the same as saying that the reading speed is constant. When we plug in the values here's what we have:
[tex]\frac{8}{3}=\frac{x}{10}[/tex]
Where x is the number of pages she'll read in 10 minutes.
After making some math, you'll see that the amount of pages she read is equal to [tex]\frac{80}{3}[/tex] or [tex]26\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pages (26 pages and two thirds of another one).
