Question

Brendan is reading a book that is 360 pages long He 2 still has 3 of the book to read. If he plans to finish the book in the next four -nights, how many pages will he have to read each night?

Answer 1

We have a book of 360 pages.

He had already read 2/3 of the book, so there is 1-(2/3)=1/3 of the book left.

`1-(2)/(3)=(3)/(3)-(2)/(3)=(1)/(3)`

This means that 120 pages are left.

`360\cdot(1)/(3)=(360)/(3)=120`

If he wants to read the rest of the book in 4 nights, he has to read 30 pages a night.

`(120)/(4)=30`
