pages

Answer 1

p ≥ 132.5 pages

Explanation:

Answer:

p ≥ 132.5 pages

Explanation:

Menal wants to know the minimum number of pages, p, she must read during each of those 4 weeks to meet her goal.What is the inequality for this problem?

Total pages = 625

First week = 50 pages

Fifths week = 45 pages

First week + fifth week

= 50 + 45

= 95 pages

Total pages remaining = Total pages - pages read

= 625 - 95

= 530 pages

Total pages remaining = 530 pages

Pages per week for 4 weeks ≥ 530 pages / 4 weeks

p ≥ 132.5 pages
