Question

Raymond has 120 books on his bookshelf that he has not read. He plans on reading 3 books per week until there are only 24 books that he still needs to read.

Which equation can be used to determine the number of weeks, w, it will take Raymond to have only 24 books left, and how many weeks will it take?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is: (120-24) / 3 = w

Answer 2

This one is quite easy if you think about it. To make it easier, let's first subtract 120-24. We get 96. Then, we just divide 96 by 3. And we get 32. It will take him 32 weeks to meet his desired goal. Hope this helps. Plato suuuuucckkkks.
