Question

karen is reading the great gatsby in English class. So far, she has read 30 pages. If she reads 18 pages a day and there are 192 pages in the book, how many days will it take her to finish the book

Answer 1

9 days

Explanation:

192-30=162

162/18=9

There is 192 pages in total and if she has read 30 pages already you need to work out how much is left so you do 192-30. That would be 162 pages. It says that she reads 18 pages a day so now you need to divide 162 by 18 pages to see how many days it will take for her to finish the book. that is how the answer is 9 days.

I hope this helps

Answer 2

it will take her 9 days

Explanation:

192- 30 = 162

162 / 18 = 9
