Question

Paulita reads an average of 20 pages each day. She has 6 day to read 10 to the 2nd power pages. Will she finish her reading in 6 days? Explain.

Answer 1

If she needs to read 10 to the second power of pages, or 100 pages over the course of 6 days, I will make the Inequality 6(20) > 100. I have to multiply 6 and 20, to see how much she will read. So it is now 120>100. In conclusion, yes she will read all the pages she needs to.
