To express the total number of books Ramona read over a few months, we can use the expression:
\[ \text{Total Books} = 17 \times P \]
where \( P \) represents the number of months.
To evaluate the expression for \( P = 10 \):
\[ \text{Total Books} = 17 \times 10 \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ \text{Total Books} = 170 \]
So, if Ramona read books over 10 months, she read a total of 170 books.
