Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days. If he continues reading at that rate, how long will it take him to read a 300-page book?
All that verbiage for a simple ratio problem and then the bot gets it wrong.
days / 300 pages = 6 days / 90 pages
days = 300(6/90) = 20
It will take 20 days
check:
for the 90 pages in 6 days, ----> 90/6 or 15 pages per day
for the 300 pages in 20 days, ---> 300/20 = 15 pages per day
my answer is right, the bot is wrong
To find the answer, we need to determine the number of pages Stephen reads per day and then divide the total number of pages in the book by that rate.
Given that Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days, we can find his daily reading rate by dividing the number of pages by the number of days:
Reading rate per day = 90 pages / 6 days = 15 pages per day
To calculate the time it would take Stephen to read a 300-page book, we divide the total number of pages by his reading rate:
Time required = 300 pages / 15 pages per day = 20 days
Therefore, it would take Stephen approximately 20 days to read a 300-page book if he continues reading at the same rate.
18 days.
Steps:
1. Divide the number of pages in the book (300) by the number of days it took Stephen to read the 90-page book (6).
2. 300/6 = 50
3. Multiply the result (50) by the number of days it took Stephen to read the 90-page book (6).
4. 50 x 6 = 300
5. Therefore, it will take Stephen 18 days to read a 300-page book.
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
x/300 = 6/90
x = 20
