Paula read 120 pages of her book in days. How many pages might she have read each day ? Show 2 different ways to solve
To find out how many pages Adam read on the last day, we need to break down the information given in the question.
Let's assume that Adam read X pages on the first day. According to the question, he read twice as many pages on the middle day as he did on the first day or the last day.
Therefore, on the middle day, he read 2X pages.
On the last day, he also read X pages.
We know that he read a total of 360 pages in 3 days. So, we can write an equation based on this information:
X + 2X + X = 360
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of X:
4X = 360
X = 360 / 4
X = 90
Therefore, Adam read 90 pages on the first day.
Since he read the same number of pages on the last day, he also read 90 pages on the last day.
