Question

Mohanrao took 10 days to finish a book, reading 40 pages everyday. How many pages must he read in a day to finish it in 8 days?

Answer 1

Answer:

50

10*40/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let the no. of pages be x

No. of days. 10. 8.

No. of pages. 40. x.

Less pages, less days.
This is a case of direct variation.

$\frac{10}{40} = \frac{8}{x}$

$\frac{8 \times 40}{10} = x$

$32 = x$
