Question

- Kirk is reading a book and found that after 5 days he had read 180 pages.

rate is Kirk reading the book in (b) If the book is 765 pages long, how many
days will it take him to read the book at
the rate you found in (a)?

Answer 1

21.25 days

Explanation:

We first need to find the rate that he read the book for the first 5 days:

180 (pages)/5 (days)= 36

So he reads 36 pages a day. Now we need to find how many days it will take him to read the whole book, while reading 36 pages a day.

765 (total pages)/36 (pages he reads in a day) = 21.25

Have a wonderful day, my friend.
