Question

Larry read a 400400400-page book. He read at a rate of 101010 pages per day for ddd days. Write an equation that could be used to find out how many days it took Larry to read the book.

Answer 1

Answer:

From Larry's rate, the equation can be given as D = T/101010

Step-by-step explanation:

Larry's book has 400400400 pages

His reading rate is 101010 pages per day

Let D = Number of days to read the book

To get the number of days it takes fro Larry to read this book, we say

Total pages = Reading rate (pages/day) x Number of days

Let Total pages = T

and Reading rate = R

Hence;

D = T / R

From Larry's rate, the equation can be given as D = T/101010.

From the question,

ddd = 400400400 (pages) / 101010 (pages/day) = 3963.9 days

Hence, it takes Larry approximately 3964 days to read the book.
