Question

Tom's school report must be more than 12 pages, he writes at the rate of a half a page a day.

Answer 1

he should write more

2 pages per day

then if we multiply 2 x 6 = 12

then it would take us 6 days

if we want to be even more challenging

we can do

4 pages per day

then 4 x 3 = 12

so it would take us 3 days

Explanation:

Hopes this helps!

Answer 2

24 days (or more)

Explanation:

I assume you want to figure out how long it will take Tom to write the minimum amount of pages for his school report at that rate?

Since Tom writes 1/2 a page a day and he must write 12 or more pages, then it will take him 2 days to write one page, thus, 24 days to write 12 pages.

Therefore, Tom needs at least 24 days to write his school report.
