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? Give me reasons, before answering the question
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. So the final answer is 9.
