John Smith is reading a 435-page novel. If he reads the same number of pages per day and the number is a prime number greater than 10, how many pages per day will he read?

Correct answer:

s =  29 p/d

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} 435=3\times 5\times 29 \\ s>10 \\ s=29\text{ p/d } \\ d=435\mathrm{/}s=435\mathrm{/}29=15 \end{gathered}$$
