Miles brought the Russian novel Anna Kerenina. His paperback edition contains 992 page. Miles takes 3 days to read the first 50 pages. At this rate, about how many days will it take to read the whole novel?

Answer:

59.52 days

Explanation:

So this is a simple problem we can solve easily

If it takes 3 days to read 50 pages then obviously his rate of reading is 50 pages per day

If we divide 992 by 50, then we can find how many 3 day increments it will take him

(992/50 is 19.84)

Now is we multiply 19.84 by 3, we get the total amount of days which is 59.52

I hope I helped and have a wonderful day!
