Question

Kathy read 288 pages of her 603-page novel in 9 days. How many pages per day must she now read in order to complete the book and return it within the library’s 14-day deadline?

Answer 1

Total pages= 603

Pages read = 288

Remaining pages to be read = 603 - 288 = 315

The dead line is 14 days, she has already read for 9 days . So she has (14 - 9) = 5 days left to complete the remaining 315 pages

Thus, she must read 315/5 = 63 pages per day.

The answer = 63 pages per day
