Sam and his father are talking:
Son how many pages are there in that book you have to read for school?
Less than 1000.
Have you started reading it yet?
Yes, on Sunday I already passed page 150.
And how many pages did you read today?
Very many! The sum of the page numbers of the pages I read today is 2761.
What pages did Sam read on the day of this conversation?
To find the pages that Sam read on the day of the conversation, we can subtract the total pages he read before the conversation (150) from the sum of the page numbers of the pages he read that day (2761). This will give us the total number of pages that Sam read on that day.
Let's calculate it:
Total pages read on the day of the conversation = Sum of page numbers - Pages read before the conversation
= 2761 - 150
= 2611
Therefore, Sam read a total of 2611 pages on the day of the conversation.
To find out what pages Sam read on the day of this conversation, we need to use the information given.
We know that Sam had already read up to page 150 on Sunday. Let's assume today is Monday.
If the sum of the page numbers Sam read today is 2761, we can subtract the page numbers he had already read to determine the range of pages he read on Monday.
2761 - 150 = 2611
Therefore, Sam read pages 151 to 2611 on the day of this conversation.
