Carson read a total of 20 books over 4 months. If Carson has read 115 books so far, how many months has he been with his book club? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer

To find out how many months Carson has been with his book club, we set up a proportion based on the given information:

  1. 20 books / 4 months = 115 books / x months

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

  1. 20x = 115 * 4
  2. 20x = 460
  3. x = 460 / 20
  4. x = 23

Carson has been with his book club for 23 months.
