Question

Mohanrao took 10 days to finish a book,
reading 40 pages every day. How many
pages must he read in a day to finish it
dass​

Answer 1

Number of pages in the book=10×40=400 pages

Now, let the no. of pages, he should read be x.

⇒8x=400

⇒x= 400/8

=50pages

Answer 2

Answer:

Let Mohanrao read x pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.

The number of pages read per day and the days required to finish the book are in inverse proportion.

∴ 8 × x = 10 × 40

∴ x = (10 x 40)/8

= 50

∴ Mohanrao will have to read 50 pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.
