Final answer:
Margret is currently on page 198 of the 713-page novel, War and Peace. She will have read twice as many pages and will be 119 pages from the end.
Step-by-step explanation:
Margret is reading a 713-page novel, War and Peace. She finds herself on a page such that if she reads twice as many pages as she has read already, she will be 119 pages from the end of the book. To determine the page Margret is currently on, we can set up an equation and solve for the number of pages read.
Let's define the number of pages she has read as x. The total number of pages in the book is 713. According to the problem, once she has read twice the number of pages she has currently read, she will be 119 pages from the end, so the equation is:
3x + 119 = 713
Subtracting 119 from both sides gives:
3x = 594
Dividing both sides by 3 results in:
x = 198
Therefore, Margret is currently on page 198.
While calculating this, we can infer that there is not a need for Margret to read more than 1,050 pages since the book has only 713 pages.
