Answer 2

Answer : No, he won't

Explanation:

Given

Target = 480 pages in 28 days

Rate = 60 pages in 4 days

Required:

Determine if he'll reach his target

The rate can be expressed using:

Rate = pages/days

So, we have:

Rate = 60 pages/ 4 days

Multiply the fraction by : that number are on pdf

This can be interpreted as: 420 pages in 28 days

And his target is 480 pages in 28 days

Hence, he wont finish the book at that rate
