During the school holidays, Chris read 312 pages of a book at first. He read the remaining pages in 20 days, with the same number of pages every day. During these 20 days, he read 1over12 of the book in 6 days how many pages did he read in the 6 days
321
To find out how many pages Chris read in the 6 days, we need to determine the total number of pages in the book.
We know that during the school holidays, Chris initially read 312 pages.
The remaining pages of the book were read in 20 days, with the same number of pages each day.
We are also given that during a period of 20 days, Chris read 1/12 of the book in 6 days.
Let's calculate the total number of pages in the book:
Total pages = Pages read initially + Pages read in 20 days
Total pages = 312 + (1/12)*(20 days)
Total pages = 312 + (20/12)
Total pages = 312 + 1.67
Total pages ≈ 313.67
Since we cannot have a fraction of a page, we round the total number of pages in the book down to 313.
To find out how many pages Chris read in the 6 days, we need to calculate 1/12 of the total number of pages:
Pages read in 6 days = (1/12) * Total pages
Pages read in 6 days = (1/12) * 313
Pages read in 6 days ≈ 26.08
Therefore, Chris read approximately 26 pages in the 6 days.
To find out how many pages Chris read in the 6 days, we need to first determine how many pages he read in one day.
We know that Chris read 312 pages of the book at first and read the remaining pages in 20 days. So, the total number of pages in the book is 312 + the number of pages he read in the remaining days.
Since he read the same number of pages every day during the remaining 20 days, we can divide the remaining pages by 20 to find out how many pages he read in one day.
Let's calculate that:
Remaining pages = Total pages - Pages read at first
Remaining pages = Total pages - 312
Now, we'll divide the remaining pages by 20 to find out the number of pages Chris read in one day:
Pages read in one day = Remaining pages / 20
Finally, since he read 1/12 of the book in 6 days, we can multiply the number of pages read in one day by 6 to find out how many pages he read in the 6 days:
Pages read in 6 days = Pages read in one day × 6
Now we can solve the problem using the given information! Please provide me the total number of pages in the book.
"1over12" is more easily understood as 1/12.
If the book is 312 pages long, in six days he read 312 * 1/12 = ? pages
