Explanation:

Step1: Calculate pages read

To find the number of pages read, subtract the starting page from the ending page. The starting page is 1 and the ending page is 42. So, the number of pages read is \( 42 - 1 = 41 \) (we subtract 1 because page 1 is included, so the count is ending page - starting page + 1? Wait, no, if you start at page 1 and end at page 42, the number of pages is \( 42 - 1 + 1 = 42 \)? Wait, no, let's think again. If you read from page 1 to page 2, that's 2 pages. So \( 2 - 1 + 1 = 2 \). So in general, number of pages = end page - start page + 1. Here, start page is 1, end page is 42. So \( 42 - 1 + 1 = 42 \)? Wait, no, maybe the problem considers the number of pages as end - start. Let's check the problem statement. The problem has "How many pages did you read today? __. From pg 1 - pg 42". So maybe it's \( 42 - 1 = 41 \)? Wait, maybe the user made a typo, but let's see. If you start at page 1 and end at page 42, the number of pages is 42 (since page 1 to page 42 is 42 pages). Wait, no, page 1 to page 1 is 1 page, so \( 1 - 1 + 1 = 1 \). So the formula is end - start + 1. So 42 - 1 + 1 = 42. But maybe the problem expects 42 - 1 = 41. Wait, let's see the problem again. The blanks are "How many pages did you read today? . From pg 1 - pg 42__". So maybe the answer is 41 (42 - 1) or 42. Let's assume that when you read from page 1 to page 42, the number of pages is 42 - 1 = 41? Wait, no, if you read page 1, that's 1 page. Page 1 to page 2 is 2 pages. So the number of pages is end - start + 1. So 42 - 1 + 1 = 42. But maybe the problem considers it as 42 - 1 = 41. Let's check with an example. If start is 1 and end is 1, then 1 - 1 = 0, but that's wrong. So the correct formula is end - start + 1. So 42 - 1 + 1 = 42. So the number of pages read is 42.

Step2: Fill in the blank

Now that we have calculated the number of pages, we fill in the blank for "How many pages did you read today?" with 42 (or 41, depending on interpretation, but let's go with the formula end - start + 1, so 42).

Answer:

The number of pages read is \(\boxed{42}\) (or 41 if using end - start, but the correct count from page 1 to page 42 is 42 pages).
