Question

Missy read 1/12 of a book by Monday 1/4 of a book by Tuesday and 512 by Wednesday.

Part A. What is the rule of the book Missy reads each day.

Part B. If the pattern continues, how much of the book will Missy have read by Friday?

Answer 1

part A:

1/12 on day 1

1/4 or 3/12 on day 2

5/12 on day 3

Missy read 2/12 or 1/6 every day

Part B:

if day 1 is 1/12 and Friday is day 5 and she reads 2/12 per day

2/12 * 4 = 8/12

so 1/12 + 8/12 = 9/12 or 3/4 by Friday
