Using this data, and if the pattern continues, approximately how many pages will the author write for the seventh book in the series?
A. 383 pages
B. 424 pages
C. 463 pages
D. 498 pages
To find the approximate number of pages for the seventh book in the series, we substitute b = 7 into the equation N = 41b + 137:
N = 41(7) + 137
N = 287 + 137
N ≈ 424
Therefore, the author will write approximately 424 pages for the seventh book in the series.
The correct answer is B. 424 pages.
To find the number of pages for the seventh book in the series, we need to substitute the value of b as 7 in the equation N = 41b + 137.
N = 41 * 7 + 137
N = 287 + 137
N = 424
Therefore, approximately 424 pages will be written for the seventh book in the series.
The correct answer is B. 424 pages.
