Question:

Madison and Allie have a goal to read 3,300 pages together by the end of 3rd quarter. Madison reads 50 page every day Allie reads 10 more pages every day than Madison reads. Write and solve an equation to show how many days it will take them to read 3,300 pages

It will take 30 days for them to read 3,300 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The total number of pages to be read  =  3300 pages

Number of pages Madison reads  =  50 page every day

Number of pages Allie reads  = 1 0 more pages every day than Madison reads

To Find:

Total Number of days needed to read 3300 pages = ?

Solution:

Let the number days they will take be x

then

Number of pages Madison read per day (x)  + Number of pages Allie read per day(x) = 3300

(50)x + (50 +10) x = 3300

50x + 60x = 3300

110x = 5500

x =

x = 30

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
