Upper Elementary: 

 

Question: John has a manuscript that is 1,040 pages long. If it took him 2 years to write, then how many pages did John write per week on average? 

 

(Hint: There are 52 weeks in a year.)

 

 

 

Answer: 10 pages per week

 

 

Solution: If there are 52 weeks in a year, then there are 104 weeks in 2 years. To find the average number of pages John wrote on an average week, we divide 1,040 pages by 104 weeks and get 10. John wrote an average of 10 pages per week.
