Problema Solution

Tehira has read 110 pages of a 290-page book. She reads 20 pages each day. How many days will it take to finish. Write and an equation.

Answer provided by our tutors

the number of pages left to read: 290 - 110 = 180 pages


the rate of Tehira's reading: 20 pages per day


let t = the number of days needed to finish the book


20*t = 180 divide both sides by 20


t = 180/20


t = 9 days


Tehira will need 9 days to finish the book.
