Respuesta :

By taking the product between the rate and the time, we will see that he does not finish the book.

Will he finish the book?

We know that he can read 5 pages in 15 minutes. Then in one hour he can read 4 times that: 4*5 pages = 20 pages.

We conclude that Carter reads 20 pages per day, then, if he reads for 14 hours, then he reads a total of:

20*14 = 280

So he will read 280 pages in these 14 hours, which means that he will not finish the book.
