Question

Billy is reading a 595 page book. During the past five days, he has read 175 pages. If he continues to read at the same rate, how many more days will it take them to finish the book?

Answer 1

12 more days

Explanation:

If Billy read 175 pages in 5 days, that means he read 35 pages a day.

175 / 5 = 35 pgs

If we continue this same pattern it will look like this:

595 - 175 = 420

420 / 35 = 12 days
