next part of question?

how could the reading goal be reached in ten weeks if only 500 students participated?

I've spoon-fed you the rest of this problem.

Now it's your turn. What do you think?

500/10=50

What do you mean by 50? How does it answer the question?

how could the reading goal be reached in ten weeks if only 500 students participated?

Sorry, 500 students*50=25,000

You're not thinking.

1000 students each reads 100 pages a week. Why would half that number have to read 250 times that amount?

Can you imagine reading 25,000 pages a week?

To determine how the reading goal could be reached in ten weeks with only 500 participants, we need to gather some additional information. Here are the steps to find the answer:

1. Determine the reading goal: Find out what the specific reading goal is that needs to be achieved. For example, it could be a certain number of books, pages, or hours of reading.

2. Calculate the reading capacity of each participant: Divide the reading goal by the number of participants (500) to determine the individual reading capacity required for each student.

Reading capacity = Reading goal / Number of participants

3. Calculate the required reading pace: Divide the reading capacity by the number of weeks (10) to determine the required reading pace for each student.

Required reading pace = Reading capacity / Number of weeks

4. Evaluate if the reading pace is achievable: Compare the required reading pace to determine if it is attainable by the participants. Consider factors such as the average reading speed, available reading time, and the difficulty level of the material.

If the required reading pace is reasonable and can be accommodated by the students, then the reading goal could be reached within ten weeks with 500 participants. However, if the reading pace seems unrealistic or too challenging, alternative strategies such as extending the timeline or increasing the number of participants might be necessary.
