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 ≥
40 pages per day
To find the average number of pages Sari should read per day, we can divide the total number of pages she wants to read (200) by the number of days she has (5):
Average pages per day = Total pages / Number of days
Average pages per day = 200 / 5
Average pages per day = 40
Therefore, Sari should aim to read at least 40 pages per day to meet her goal of reading 200 pages in the first 5 days of the week.
To find out how many pages Sari should read per day to meet her goal, we need to divide the total number of pages she wants to read (200) by the number of days she has to read those pages (5).
The equation for this calculation is:
p = 200 / 5
By dividing 200 by 5, we find that Sari should read an average of 40 pages per day to meet her goal.
