Answer 1

May 4
June 8
July 12

Answer 2

The answer choices are:
September
October
August
December

Answer 3

I thought it was December at first but I'm not exactly sure how to get to the answer ):

Answer 4

@mathmate @mathmale @sleepyjess help please!

Answer 5

I think it is December because 8 times 2 = 16 so as long as mandy does not read any more,Bill will catch up if he reads 2 books per month for 8 months then 4 +8 =12 12 is december. I am not sure if this is right though. I t is a guess

Answer 6

8 meaning 8 months

Answer 7

That sounds about right, all the other options don't really seem like there concord with the problem

Answer 8

I hope you get it right,but I am really sorry if I mentioned the wrong answer.

Answer 9

That's alright! it's better than a guess with no explanation

Answer 10

@mathmale is december correct? :)

Answer 11

Please double-check that you've copied down all of the pertinent info. How many books per month does Bill read? How many had he read by the time he starts trying to catch up with Mandy? Does Mandy continue reading books?

Answer 12

would that be august then? because continuing the chart it would be 16, or the next month @mathmale
