a writer can write a novel at a rate of 3 pages per 5 hour work. if he wants to finish the novel in x number of pages, determine a function model that will represent the accumulated writing hours to finish his novel

if 3 pages = 5 hours, then we divide each side by 3 to get:
1 page = 5/3 hours per page

So x pages takes:
5x/3 hours

Our function for number of pages x is:
f(x) = 5x/3
