Answer 1

On one night, Franco will read only 30 pages.
Multiply 30 and 7 (which is 210)
And that's your answer.

So, in 7 nights, Franco will read 210 pages. Leaving him with 272 pages left.
:D

Answer 2

The number of pages in the book is actually irrelevant.

Franco reads 30 pages in 1 night. To find how many pages he reads in 7 nights, just multiply by 7.

30*7=210

Franco reads 210 pages in 7 nights.


Solving with Equivalent Ratios:

The ratio of pages he reads per night is 30:1. We need to figure out the ratio x:7, where the variable x is the number of pages he reads in 7 nights.

30:1=x:7

To find x we need to see the similarity between both ratios. This is found by dividing two of the equal sides, here it would be 7 and 1.

7/1=7

This means that the second ratio is 7 times the first ration. To find x, just multiply 30 by 7.

30*7=210

Franco reads 210 pages every 7 nights.
