Question

Kim has already read two pages and she knows she can read 20 more pages during every additional hour she spends reading. In all how many hours of reading will Kim have to do this week in order to have read a total of 44 pages

Answer 1

First, since Kim has already read 2 pages you subtract 44-2. Now you only have to divide 42 by 20 which is 2.1 hours. 2.1 hours is the equivalent of 2 hours and 6 minutes.
