Question

Jackie is reading a 252 page novel for her summer reading project. On Monday she reads 4/8 of the novel. On Tuesday she reads 28 pages, and on Wednesday she reads 1/4 of the novel. How many total pages has Jackie read so far?
A) 126 pages
B) 189 pages
C) 217 pages
D) 170 pages

Answer 1

So far, Jackie has read 217 pages

In order to determine the total number of pages Jackie read, we would have to determine the number of pages she read each day and add these pages together

• Number of pages she read on Monday = $\frac{4}{8}$ x 252 = 126 pages
• Number of pages she read on Tuesday = 28 pages
• Number of pages she read on Wednesday = $\frac{1}{4}$ x 252 = 63 pages

The total number of pages she has read so far = 126 + 28 + 63 = 217 pages
