Answer:

r > 38

Explanation:

Number of pages in the Quran = 532

Number of nights in a week = 7

Target is to read more than half by the end of the first week

In other to meet up,

Let number of pages to be read per night = r

Hence, the equality goes thus

Pages read per night × 7 > pages of the Quran / 2

7× r > 532 / 2

7r > 266

r > 266/7

r > 38

Hence, he must read more than 38 pages each night.
