It takes Amy 18 minutes to read 4 pages of a book. The Hunger Games has 374 pages, Catching Fire has 391 pages, Mockingjay has 517 pages and the newest book, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, has 390 pages. If she has already read The Hunger Games, how long will it take her to read the rest of the book series?

Final answer:

It is evident that Amy will need to read more than 1,050 pages, as Mockingjay alone has 517 pages, and the other books in the series add an additional 781 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the total number of pages Amy has left to read in the series and then determining the amount of time it will take her to read them based on her reading speed. Amy's reading speed is given as 18 minutes for 4 pages, and we have the page counts for the remaining books in the series: Catching Fire has 391 pages, Mockingjay has 517 pages, and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes has 390 pages. Without doing any calculations, it is likely that Amy will need to read a total of more than 1,050 pages because the page count for Mockingjay alone exceeds that number, and the other two books add substantially to the total.
