To find out how many days Cody needs to complete a book with 364.5 pages, given he writes 40.5 pages per day, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the exact number of days required:
We first divide the total number of pages by the number of pages Cody writes per day.
[tex]\[
\text{days needed} = \frac{\text{total pages}}{\text{pages per day}} = \frac{364.5}{40.5} = 9.0
\][/tex]
2. Interpret the result:
The result shows that Cody needs exactly 9 days to complete the book.
So, Cody will complete the book in 9 days. The correct answer is:
9 days
