Question

You are assigned to read Anna Karenina for your literature class. The edition you have contains 1232 pages. You time yourself and estimate that you can read 2 pages in one hour. You have five days before the exam on the book. Will you be able to finish reading before the exam?

Answer 1

The professor is unlikely to read more than 1,050 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the professor will need to read more than 1,050 pages, we can calculate the total pages the professor needs to read in the given time frame. The professor has 5 days before the exam and can read 2 pages per hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day, the professor can read 2 x 24 = 48 pages in a day. Therefore, the professor can read 48 x 5 = 240 pages in the given time frame.

Since 240 pages is less than 1,050 pages, it is unlikely that the professor will need to read a total of more than 1,050 pages.
