To solve the world problem, you shall use the rule of 3:

555 - 333

x - 888

(888 * 555) / 333 = x

492840 / 333 = x

1480 = x

Answer:


\boxed{\bf~Henry~can~write~1480~pages~in~888~hours}.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Number of pages written in 333 hours = 555

Number of pages written in 1 hour =
(555)/(333)

Number of pages written in 888 hours =
(555)/(333) * 888

= 1480 pages
