Question

Please help me with this question. Thank you so much everyone.

Answer 1

Answer:

1159

Step-by-step explanation:

She wants to read 1000 pages per week for five weeks.

So in total she wants to read 1000 * 5 = 5000 pages.

The first three weeks she read 894 pages per week.

So during the first three weeks she read a total of 894 * 3 = 2682 pages.

We want to find how many pages she must read per week for the last two weeks to reach her goal.

Goal: 5000 pages

Pages read so far: 2682

Weeks remaining: 2

To find how many pages she must read for the last two weeks we simply subtract the number of pages she read during the first 3 weeks (2682 ) by her goal ( 5000 )

5000 - 2682 = 2318

So she must read 2318 pages during the last 2 weeks.

If we want to find the amount of pages she must read per week during the last 2 weeks to reach her goal, we simply divide the amount of pages she must read during the last few weeks to reach her goal ( 2318 ) by the number of remaining weeks ( 2 )

2318 / 2 = 1159

So for the last two weeks she must average 1159 pages per week.

Answer 2

Answer:

1159 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Briana's goal,

Pages to be read per week = 1000 pages

Number of weeks = 5

So, pages to be read in 5 weeks

= 5×1000 pages

= 5000 pages

But in reality,

Pages read in each first 3 weeks = 894 pages

So, total pages read in all first 3 weeks

= 3×894 pages

= 2682

Pages remained to be read to complete the goal

= Pages to be read in 5 weeks according to her goal - Pages actually read in all first 3 weeks

= 5000 pages - 2682 pages

= 2318 pages

So, pages to be read in each last 2 weeks

= 2318 pages/2

= 1159 pages

So, Briana will have to need to average 1159 pages over the last two weeks to complete her goal.
