Courtney reads around 110 words per minute. She procrastinated and now has less than a week to finish her reading assignment. If the book she needs to finish has another 820 pages left and each page has around 350 words, how many hours can Courtney complete her assignment?

820 pages X 350 words = 287,000 words

287,000 / 110 = 2.609.09 minutes

2.609.09 / 60 = 43.48 hours

It would take about 2 days of non-stop reading to finish her assignment
