By the end of her first day of reading, Emily had read 1/4 of her book. By the end of the second day, she had read another 29 pages. There are 136 pages in the book. How many pages did she have to read after the second day to finish the book?
136/4 = 34
136 - 34 - 29 = ___
To answer this question, we need to determine how many pages Emily had read after the second day and subtract that from the total number of pages in the book.
First, let's calculate how many pages Emily had read after the first day. We know that by the end of the first day, she had read 1/4 of her book. Since the book has 136 pages, the number of pages Emily had read after the first day is:
1/4 * 136 = 34 pages
Now we need to determine how many pages Emily had read after the second day. We know that she had already read 34 pages after the first day, and she read an additional 29 pages on the second day. So the total number of pages Emily had read after the second day is:
34 + 29 = 63 pages
To find out how many pages Emily had left to read to finish the book, we subtract the number of pages she had read after the second day from the total number of pages in the book:
136 - 63 = 73 pages
Therefore, Emily had 73 pages left to read after the second day in order to finish the book.
