Question

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

Answer 1

Yes she will because 10 squared is 100 and when you multiply 20 by 6 it will equal 120 which means she will exceed her goal

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, She will finish her reading in 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Paulita has 6 day to read 10 to 2nd power pages.

i.e. she has 6 days to read 10² pages

i.e. she has 6 days to read 100 pages

she reads an average of 20 pages each day.

i.e. in 6 days she reads 20×6 pages

i.e. in 6 days she reads 120 pages

so, in 6 days she can read 100 pages

Hence, she will finish her reading in 6 days.
