Final answer:
The statement is false; Paulita can finish reading 102 pages in less than 6 days based on her daily reading average.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is false. Paulita reads an average of 20 pages per day, so in 6 days, she would have read 120 pages. Therefore, she will indeed finish reading the 102 pages within the 6-day timeframe.
The statement in the question is true. Paulita reads an average of 20 pages per day, and she has 6 days to read 102 pages. To determine if she will finish her reading in 6 days, we can calculate:
Total pages Paulita can read in 6 days = 20 pages/day x 6 days = 120 pages
Since 120 pages is greater than the 102 pages she needs to read, Paulita will indeed finish her reading in 6 days.
