Question

Amy read 42 pages from her 137 page magazine. She will spend 10 days reading the same number of pages each day until she finishes. Estimate how many pages Amy will need to read each day.

Answer 1

Answer:

Amy will need to read 1 page each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of page of the magazine = 137 pages

Read pages of the magazine = 42 pages

Remaining pages to be read = 137 pages - 42 pages  = 95 pages

She spends 10 days reading the same number of pages each day until she finishes.

The number of pages read in each of the 10 days = 95 pages / 10 days

                                                           = 9.5 pages

In 10 days Amy reads 9.5 pages

In a day she reads ?

10 days -----------> 9.5 pages

1 day ----------------> ?

= 0.95 page

approximately 1 page per day

Thus, Amy will need to read 1 page each day.
