Josie read 100 pages of her book last week and 146 pages this week her older brother says he read about 3 to 4 times as many total pages as josie explain why 2,500 is not a reasonable estimate for the number of pages that josie's brother read

2,500 is not a reasonable estimate for the number of pages that Josie's brother read because he would have read 738 or 984 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The number of pages Josie read last week = 100

Number of pages Josie reads the next week  =146

Josie's Older brother reads 3 to 4 times as many total pages as Josie

Now the total pages read by Josie in the two week is  =  number of pages read last week + number pages she read this week

=> 100+ 146 =246

So Josie 's brother reads  3 to 4 times as 246 pages

Case 1: If he reads 3 times more then

=> 246 x 3 =  738 pages

Case 2: If he reads 4 times more then

=> 246 x 4 =  984 pages

Thus Josie's brother would have left either 738 pages or 984 pages.

so, 2500 is not a reasonable estimate

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
