No, Damita will not reach her goal. If she reads 36 pages each day, she'll only read 252 pages.

Answer:

The correct answer is she will not reach her goal.

Explanation:

To better understand, we must analyze the information we have.

We know that Damita wants to read a book that has 257 pages and which she wants to finish in a week, that is to say in seven days.

She plans to read 36 pages every day. To know if she can finish reading the book in 7 days we just have to multiply the number of pages you plan to read by 7.

So:

36 x 7 = 252

In 7 days, Damita will be able to read 252 pages, which means that she will not reach her goal.
