To find the answer, we can set up a proportion using the number of pages and the number of days it takes Mary to read them.
If Mary read 105 pages in 5 days, we can set up the proportion:
105 pages / 5 days = 504 pages / x days
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
105x = 504 * 5
105x = 2520
Dividing both sides by 105, we find:
x = 2520 / 105
x ≈ 24
Therefore, it will take Mary approximately 24 days to read a 504-page book.
