Answer:
2,500 is not a reasonable estimate for the number of pages that Josie's brother read because he would have read 738 or 984 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
The number of pages Josie read last week = 100
Number of pages Josie reads the next week =146
Josie's Older brother reads 3 to 4 times as many total pages as Josie
Now the total pages read by Josie in the two week is = number of pages read last week + number pages she read this week
=> 100+ 146 =246
So Josie 's brother reads 3 to 4 times as 246 pages
Case 1: If he reads 3 times more then
=> 246 x 3 = 738 pages
Case 2: If he reads 4 times more then
=> 246 x 4 = 984 pages
Thus Josie's brother would have left either 738 pages or 984 pages.
so, 2500 is not a reasonable estimate
