Question

The student looks up the word count on his favorite book, if the book has pages that are 5.5 in. x 6.5 in. and 59,540 words how many pages is the book? (This sentence and picture combine.)

Answer 1

199 pages

Explanation:

The average number of words on the page is 300. Because there are 59,540 words and 59540/300 = 198.46 (approximately), there are 199 pages in the book (because the 0.46 pages would be the last page).
