Solution

B. If Vanessa has 192 pages of reading and reads 48 pages each day, on Monday she has read 48 pages, on Tuesday she has read 2(48) or 96 pages, on Wednesday she has ready 3(48) or 144 pages, and on Thursday she has read 4(48) or 192 pages. Thursday is the correct answer. Another way to do this is to divide 192 by 48 to get 4. If Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, Wednesday is 3, and Thursday is 4. Again, Thursday is the correct answer
