A book has 8 chapters. Beth has read 2 chapters in 3 hours. If she continues reading at that rate, in how many hours will she be able to finish reading the remaining chapters?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
9
Beth still needs to read 8 - 2 = 6 chapters.

She can read 1 chapter in 3 / 2 = 1.

5 hours.

Therefore, she will be able to finish reading the remaining chapters in 1.

5 x 6 = 9 hours.

.

Therefore, the answer is 9
