Question

James has a 375 page book to read in September . how many pages per day does he need to read if he reads exactly the same amount each day ?

Answer 1

Given:

Number of pages in the book = 375

The month of interest = September

The number of pages James needs to read in September per day can be calculated using the formula:

$=\frac{\text{Number of pages in the book}}{Number\text{ of days in the month of September}}$

There are 30 days in the month of September. Hence, the number of pages(n) he needs to read would be:

$\begin{gathered} n\text{ = }\frac{375\text{ pages}}{30\text{ days}} \\ =\text{ }12.5\text{ pages/day} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the number of pages James needs to read is 12 and a half pages per day.

Answer:

12.5 pages/day
