Question

Mikah’s history assignment is to read 420 pages. He planned to do the assignment in 6 hours. He read the first 160 pages in 2 hours. What is the mean number of pages he must read per hour during the next 4 hours in order to complete the assignment according to plan?

Answer 1

number of pages Mikah must read per hour during the next 4 hours, you can use the following formula:

Mean Pages per Hour

= (Total Pages - Pages Read) / Remaining Time

NOTE: REMAINING TIME IS IN HOURS

SOLUTION:

=

(420−160) / 4

= ( 260 ) / 4

= 65

The mean number of pages Mikah must read per hour during the next 4 hours to complete the assignment according to plan is 65 pages per hour.
