Problem of the Week
Problem B
Aisha’s Books
Aisha is spending a week at her family’s cottage and wants to read her favourite book, which is 400 pages long.
If she reads one page every 36 seconds, how many hours will it take her to read her book?
Suppose Aisha only reads from 10:15 a.m. to 2:10 p.m., and from 7:20 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. each day, starting on Monday. On what day and at what time will she finish reading her book?
Aisha decides to read a second book that is 350 pages in length, starting right after finishing her first book. If she continues to read at the same speed, then when will she finish her second book?
