Answer:

70 books

Explanation:

Ellen reads one book per day for 10 weeks.

All we need to do to know the number of books Ellen read overall is to multiply 1 (number of books he read each day) and 10 weeks (total number of days).

Each week is 7 days, so 10 weeks is equal to 70 days.

The equation will be: 1 x 70

We can conclude that Ellen read 70 books overall within 10 weeks.

1 week = 7 days

10 weeks = 10×7 days

= 70 days

if Ellen reads 1 book in a day

Therefore,

1 day = 1 book

70 days = 70×1

= 70 books.

Thus Ellen reads 70 books in 10 weeks.

Hope helps
