Hi Amber,

Remember showing your work counts for 50% of the grade of the assignment,

Question 6 should be fixed now, it seems you included a "$" sign and the system did not recognize your answer as correct. Make sure to include only numbers in your short response questions.

For question 4, try working backwards. For example, since after reading $\frac{1}{3}$ of the remaining pages and 18 more there were 62 pages left to read, $62 + 18 = 80$ pages makes for $1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ of the pages left to read after day 2, that is, $80 \div \frac{2}{3} = 120$ pages.
