Question

Rosie's reading book has $128$ pages. She read $5$ pages every day. How many days does it take her to finish the book?

• A. $25$
• B. $26$
• C. $24$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $26$

Total number of pages in the book $=128$
Number of pages she read every day $=5$
Number of days required to finish the book
$=\frac{\text{total number of pages}}{\text{number of pages she read every day}}$

Quotient = 25
Remainder = 3
After $25$ days, There are still $3$ pages left. She need one more day for the remaining pages. Hence, We Round up Therefore, Total number of days required $=25+1=26$
