you are assigned to read war and peace in your english class.
the edition you have has 1232 pages.
You time yourself to estimate that you can read 12 pages in 1 hr.
you have 5 days before your exam on this book.
will you be able to finish reading it before the exam?
:
Not likely, 1232/12 ~ 103 hrs to read it
Divide by 5 days
103/5 = 20.6 hrs a day you would have to be reading
That leaves less than 4 hrs a day, for eating, sleeping, taking a shower, etc
