Answer 1

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.
