Last week maria read 35 pages . this week she read 2.5 times as many pages as she read last week . how many pages did she read this week

Answer 1

If Maria read 35 pages last week and 2.5 times more this week, you can just multiply 35 by 2.5 to find how many she read this week.
35 • 2.5 = 87.5
This week Maria read 87.5 pages.
