Answer 1

Question:-

If Jenny can read 7 books in 8 days, exactly how many days would it take her to read 20 books?

Answer:-

22.85714 or 23 days

Explanation:-

$GIVEN,$

Number of books Jenny can read in 8 days = 7

$NOW,$

Number of days taken by Jenny to read 1 book = $\frac{8}{7}$

Number of days taken by her to read 20 books =

→ $20 \times \frac{8}{7}$

→ $\frac{160}{7}$

→ 22.85714 or 23 days

Answer 2

Answer:

23 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

No. of days taken by Jenny to read 7 books

= 8

So,

No. of days taken by her to read 1 book

$= \frac{8}{7}$

Therefore,

No. of days taken by her to read 20 books

$= \frac{8}{7} × 20$

• [On Simplification]

$= \frac{160}{7}$

• [On dividing]

= 22.85.....

• [On approximating]

= 23 days (approx. )

Hence,

Jenny will take 23 days to read 20 books (Ans)
