Question

Marie is reading a 271-page book. She has already read 119 pages. She uses the equation 119+8h=271 to find out how long it will take her to finish the book if she reads at about 8 pages per hour.

Solve for h.

Answer 1

19 hours

Explanation:

119 + 8h = 271

8h = 271 - 119

8h = 152

8h/8 = 152/8

h = 19
