Xiao Ming reads a book with 132 pages. After reading for 5 days, there are 72 pages left.(2) If you can only borrow it for 9 days, how many pages do you read on average every day from the 6th day onwards?Xiao Ming reads a book with a total of 132 pages. After reading for 5 days, there are still 72 pages left. The total number of pages that Xiao Ming reads is 132 - 72 = 60 pages.
If he could only borrow it for 9 days, then the total number of pages Little Ming needed to borrow was 60 pages/9 days = 6 pages/day.
From the sixth day onwards, he read an average of 6 pages per day x 9 days = 54 pages.
Answer 2:
Assuming that from the first day onwards, Xiaoming reads x pages every day, then after he reads the number of pages borrowed in the previous 9 days, Xiaoming still needs to borrow 132 pages- 9 days x x pages = 132 pages- 9x pages.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
132 pages- 9x pages = 1 page
Solve this equation:
8x pages = 132 pages-9x pages = 23 pages
x pages = 3 pages
Therefore, Xiao Ming needed to read 3 pages/day, which was 9 pages, on the 6th day.
