1428/42=34

There are 1428 pages so you would divide by 42 because you red 42 pages per day. Divide the total pages read by the pages per day

Given:-

  • Priya reads 42 pages per day or in 1 day.
  • suppose , num of days = x days to read 1428 pages.

Solution:-


  • \tt{42 × 1 = 1428×x}


\:


  • \tt{42 = 1428x}


\:


  • \tt{x = \cancel (1428)/(42) }


\:


  • \underline{ \boxed{\tt{ \red{x = 34}}}}


\:

Therefore , it will take her to read 1428 pages in 34 days.

hope it helps! :)
