A storybook had 600 pages, but he had read 130 pages in 5 days. At this speed, how could he finish reading it in 25 days?At this rate, he could finish reading 600 pages in 25 days. However, due to the number of pages read each day, the specific reading time may vary. Assuming that the number of pages read per day is 130, then the number of pages that can be read in 25 days would be:
25 days x 130 pages/day = 3350 pages
Therefore, he needed to spend 25 days to finish reading all 3350 pages of the story book. It is worth noting that this is only a hypothesis. The actual reading speed may be affected by many factors, such as the difficulty of reading, the number of pages read, the mood of reading, and so on.
Little Ming was reading a storybook. He planned to read 12 pages a day, but he actually read 8 pages a day. In the end, he finished reading it two days earlier. How many pages is this storybook?Xiao Ming planned to read 12 pages a day, but he actually finished reading 8 pages a day two days earlier. Assuming that this storybook has x pages:
- The plan is to read x/12 days, which is x/12 pages.
- Actually, x/8 days is x/8 pages.
Because Little Ming finished reading it two days earlier, he only needed to read x/8 - x/12 = x/4 days.
Because Xiao Ming reads 8 pages a day, he needs to read x/4 days x 8 pages = x 4/5 pages.
Therefore, we can get the following equation:
x/4 - x/12 = x/5
By solving this equation, one could obtain:
x/12 = x/5 + 1/2
x/12 = (x+10)/5
x/12 = x/5 + 1/6
x/6 = 1/6
x = 1
Therefore, this storybook had one page.
