Jane had a 500 page book to read. The first half of the book Jane read with a speed of 10 pages per day, and the second half with a speed of 5 pages a day. How many days did Jane spend reading this book?
How many pages are in the first half of the book? ** Half of the book means 500 / 2 = <<500/2=250>>250 pages.
How many days did Jane spend reading the first half of the book? ** Reading the first half took Jane 250 / 10 = <<250/10=25>>25 days.
How many days did Jane spend reading the second half of the book? ** Reading the second half of the book took Jane 250 / 5 = <<250/5=50>>50 days.
How many days did Jane spend reading the whole book? ** So in total Jane needed 25 + 50 = <<25+50=75>>75 days to read the whole book.
