On Friday afternoon, Maya realizes that she has put off her reading for too long and that she needs to finish her book by Monday. The book is 265 pages long. She is on page 127. How many pages will she need to read each night to finish the book before school on Monday morning?

46 pages every night

Step-by-step explanation:

If she needs to finish the book by Monday morning it means that Sunday night is the last night that she has to read the book. Therefore she has 3 nights to finish the book (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night). Since she is on page 127 it means that she has 138 pages left (265 - 127 = 138) to read before Monday morning. We can calculate the number of pages she needs to read each night by dividing the total pages she has left by the number of days she has to read like so...

138 / 3 = 46 pages per day

Finally, we can see that Maya needs to read a minimum of 46 pages every night in order to finish the book before Monday morning.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
