Medal & Fan (plz help asap) :D love ya'll!

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.

Answer 1

"820 pages" and "350 words" per page --> 820(350)
"110 words per minute" --> 110x

110x = 820(350)

Solve for x, and make sure to convert it to hours.

Answer 2

Thanks, I will solve it and maybe you can double check it again like last time.... if thats alright.

Answer 3

sure

Answer 4

110x=281000 < I divided 820(350)

\[\frac{ 110x }{ 110} = \frac{ 287000 }{ 110 }\] ^ I divided each side with 110

x=2609.09 < Did I do something wrong, or is this correct... (do I still need to convert it to hours?)
