The unit rate you're trying to find is pages per day(or p/d), so the equation needs to have both a unit for pages and for days.
The equation we have is:
If they read 5,249 <em>pages</em>, then we can include the unit for pages in the equation.
Since we also know that <em>d</em> is the number of days it took, you can replace <em>d</em> with days.
The equation becomes:
Now that we have one variable, we can solve for <em>p/d</em>:
Thus it took them 181 days to read it all.
If Johnny read 5,249 pages over 181 days and the unit rate is pages per day(p/d), then the equation for finding <em>p/d</em> is:
Johnny read 29 pages per day.
