Question

It took Jason 20 days to write his college essay. He wrote half a page (0.5) every day. How long was the report?I need an explanation to so I can understand, thank you!

Answer 1

The report was 10 pages. This is because we know that Jason wrote half a page a day, and if he consistently wrote each day and I took him a total of 20 days to finish, all you would have to do is multiply 20 by .5 (half a page), you would then get 10, which means that in 20 days he wrote 10 pages
