Question

Philip is assigned to read a book for his literature class that is 240 pages long. He reads at a rate of 30 pages per hour. If he can only read for 2 hours per day, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

Answer 1

it will take him 4 days to finish the book

Explanation:

so, look at it this way: he needs to read 240 pages, and can only read 2 hours a day, and when you look how many pages he can read it says 30 pages per hour, so you take 2*30 to get 60, from there you divide 240 and 60 to get 4,

Answer 2

4 days

Explanation:

240 pages read at 30 pages/hour

(240 pages)/(30 pages/hour) = 8 hours

He will need to read for 8 hours.

He reads 2 hours per day.

(8 hours)/(2 hours/day) = 4 days

Answer: 4 days
