Kelly needs 9 more days to complete the entire book
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of pages Kelly has to read=1248 pages
Number of pages read in the past 5 days=384
To find:
The number of days Kelly needs to read the book?
Solution:
[tex]\text {The rate at which kelly reads the pages}=\frac{\text { (Total no.of pages she has read) }}{\text { Total no.of days }}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\text { The rate at which Kelly reads the pages }=\text { (Total no. of pages she has read) / Total no. of }} \\ {\text { days }}\end{array}[/tex]
[tex]\text { The rate at which Kelly reads the pages }=\frac{384}{4}[/tex]
The rate at which Kelly reads the pages=96 pages per day
[tex]\text { The no. of days required }=\frac{\text { total pages }}{\text { rate of reading }}[/tex]
[tex]\text { The no. of days required }=\frac{864}{96}[/tex]
The no. of days required = 9 days
Thus it takes 9 days to complete her book.
