Question

1. brianna has been assigned the lightning thief by her english teacher. the book is 377 pages long. if she has three weeks (including weekends) to complete the book, how many pages will she need to read every day?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total days

There are 7 days in a week, and she has 3 weeks. So the total number of days $d = 3\times7=21$ days.

Step2: Calculate pages per day

The book has 377 pages. Let the number of pages per day be $p$. We divide the total number of pages by the total number of days, so $p=\frac{377}{21}\approx17.95$. Since we can't read a fraction - of a page in a practical sense, and we want to finish the book in time, we need to round up. So she needs to read 18 pages per day.

Answer:

18
