First we figure out how many words in total she has to read.
This would be the (number of pages) times (number of words per page).

820 * 350 = 287000
so she has to read 287000 words

we divide this by 110 to get how long it would take for her to finish (in minutes)
287000 / 110 = 2609.09090909....

then since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide that number by 60
2609.09090909... / 60 = 43.48484848...

Therefore it would take her about 43.5 hours to complete her assignment.

Answer:

43.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Courtney needs to set aside at least 43.5 hours. We need to figure out many words she needs to read in total.So we need to do 820 * 350287000.We then need to divide by 110 so we can the time in minutes. 2609.09090909....Then we divide the number 60 since the question is asking us for hours. Therefore it would take her about 43.5 hours to complete her assignment
