Question

Chris is reading a 230-page book. He has already read 38 pages. If he reads 12 pages per day, how many days will he have to read to finish the rest of the book?

Answer 1

`color(purple)(=> 16days`

Explanation:

Total number of pages in the book = 230#

Already read by Cris = 38 pages.

No. of pages left to be read by Chris = 230 - 38 = 192 (numbers of pages left)

No. of pages read by Cris per day = 12 pages.

No. of days Chris will take 192 pages `= color(indigo)(192 / 12`

`=> 16` (number of days he will read till the end of the book)
