According to the given data we have the following:

total number of pages is reading=288 pages

number of pages read in the past 8 days=192 pages

In order to calculate how many. more days will it take her to complete the book we would have to calculate first the rate at which she reads the pages.

Hence, rate at which she reads the pages=number of pages read in the past 8 days/total days

rate at which she reads the pages=192 pages/8

rate at which she reads the pages=24

Therefore, if the rate at which she reads the pages is 24 pages per day, hence, the more days will it take her to complete the book=total pages/rate of reading

the more days will it take her to complete the book=96/24

the more days will it take her to complete the book=4

Therefore, the more days it will take to her would be 4 days.
