Jean is trying to motivate herself to write her final paper. She eats one donut per 2 pages that she writes. If she writes 12 pages and each donut has 150 calories, how many calories does she eat?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
First find the total number of donuts Jean eats: 12 pages / 2 pages / donut = 6 donuts. Then multiply that number by the number of calories per donut to find the total number of calories she eats: 6 donuts * 150 calories / donut = 900 calories.
Thus, the answer is 900.
