1. **State the problem:** We are given two tables showing the relationship between pages read and minutes spent reading. The first table has pages: 7, 1, 4, 15 and minutes: 14, with some missing values. The second table has pages: 7, 2, 8, 1 and minutes: 14, 1, 4, 15. 2. **Identify the pattern:** We want to complete the missing minutes in the first table. Notice that the second table pairs pages and minutes, so we can use it to find the missing values in the first table. 3. **Match pages to minutes:** From the second table: - 7 pages correspond to 14 minutes - 2 pages correspond to 1 minute - 8 pages correspond to 4 minutes - 1 page corresponds to 15 minutes 4. **Find missing minutes for the first table:** - For 7 pages, minutes = 14 (given) - For 1 page, minutes = 15 (from second table) - For 4 pages, minutes = ? (not directly given) - For 15 pages, minutes = ? (not directly given) 5. **Check if the relationship is proportional:** In the second table, 2 pages take 1 minute, so 1 page takes 0.5 minutes. But 1 page corresponds to 15 minutes in the second table, so the data is inconsistent or the tables represent different scenarios. 6. **Assuming the second table is correct and minutes are proportional to pages:** - Minutes per page = $\frac{14}{7} = 2$ minutes per page - For 4 pages: $4 \times 2 = 8$ minutes - For 15 pages: $15 \times 2 = 30$ minutes 7. **Complete the first table:** | Pages | 7 | 1 | 4 | 15 | |--------|---|---|---|----| | Minutes | 14 | 2 | 8 | 30 | **Final answer:** The missing minutes are 2 for 1 page, 8 for 4 pages, and 30 for 15 pages.
