Question

Elen planned to read a book of 40 pages in two days. On the first day, she read 4 hours reading 7 pages per hour. On the second day, it took her 2 hours to finish the book. How many pages did she read per hour on the second day

Answer 1

Ok so 7 times 4 is 28 so she read 28 the first day. For the second day since 40-28= 12, 12 divided by 2 is 6. So she read 6 pages per hour.

Answer 2

4hr * (7 pages/hr) = 28 pages

Therefore, Elen must have read the remaining 12 pages on the second day.

Since she took 2 hours to finish the book, she read 6 pages per hour on the second day.
