PLEASSSEEE ELXPLAIN THE ANSWER I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS

Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days. If he continues reading at that rate, how long will it take him to read a 300-page book?

Answer 1

It will take him 20 days to read a 300-page book.

Explanation:

Given:

Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days.

If he continues reading at that rate.

Now, to find the time it will take him to read a 300-page book.

So, we solve using unitary method:

If, Stephen read 90 pages in 6 days.

So, Stephen read 1 page in =
`(6)/(90)` days.

Thus, Stephen read 300 page in =
`(6)/(90) * 300`

`=(1800)/(90)`

`=20\ days.`

Therefore, it will take him 20 days to read a 300-page book.
