Sari has to read a book for English class by the end of the week. She wants to read at least 200 pages in the first 5 days of the week. On average, how many pages should Sari read per day to meet her goal?
p ≥ ____
p ≥ 40
To find the number of pages Sari should read per day to meet her goal, divide the total number of pages she wants to read (200) by the number of days (5) she has to read them:
p ≥ 200 / 5
p ≥ 40
Therefore, Sari should read at least 40 pages per day to meet her goal.
To determine the average number of pages Sari should read per day to meet her goal, we can first calculate the total number of pages she needs to read in five days:
Total pages = 200
Next, we divide this total by the number of days she has:
Pages per day = Total pages / Number of days
Since Sari has five days to read, we can calculate:
Pages per day = 200 / 5
Simplifying this calculation:
Pages per day = 40
Therefore, Sari should read at least 40 pages per day in order to meet her goal of reading at least 200 pages in the first 5 days of the week.
