Courtney reads around 110 words per minute. she procrastinated and now has less than a week to finish her reading assignment. if the book she needs to finish has another 820 pages left and each page has around 350 words, how many hours should she set aside to complete her assignment? show your work to receive full credit.

First we figure out how many words in total she has to read.
This would be the (number of pages) times (number of words per page).

820 * 350 = 287000
so she has to read 287000 words

we divide this by 110 to get how long it would take for her to finish (in minutes)
287000 / 110 = 2609.09090909

then since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide that number by 60
2609.09090909... / 60 = 43.48484848...

Therefore it would take her about 43.5 hours to complete her assignment.
