6. Leah is reading a book that is 646 pages long. She is currently on page

340. If she wishes to finish reading the book in the next 17 days and reads
the same number of pages each day, how many pages per day should she
read in order to meet her goal?

Answer: 18

This is because you need to find the number of pages she didn’t read yet (which you do 646-340) which is 306.
To find the number of pages she need to read in the 17 days you have to do (306 divided by 17) which is 18.
Meaning that she has to read 18 pages each day to meet her goal.
