Answer: 96

Explanation:

First we have to find 1/3 of 144. Multiply them together and you get 48.

When one of the factors are less than one, the answer will get smaller.

Then we have to find 2 thirds of 144. Since we know 1 third we can multiply that by 2.
48 x 2 = 96.

Nigel is going to read 96 pages.
