Let's work through the questions based on the image you've provided:

### Part (a):
The text mentions that the English edition of Wikipedia contains approximately 3.9109 words, and a Word document contains around 700 words per page.

- To calculate how many pages this would correspond to, we divide the total number of words by the number of words per page:

\[
\text{Number of pages} = \frac{3.9109 \times 10^9 \text{ words}}{700 \text{ words per page}} = \frac{3.9109 \times 10^9}{700}
\]

Let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Number of pages} = \frac{3.9109 \times 10^9}{700} \approx 5.587 \times 10^6 \text{ pages}
\]

Thus, in standard form, the approximate number of pages in Word is \(5.587 \times 10^6\) pages.

### Part (b):
You are asked how long it would take to read all the articles if you read 200 words per minute and set aside 12 hours every day.

1. First, calculate how many words you can read in a day:
   \[
   \text{Words per day} = 200 \text{ words/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} \times 12 \text{ hours/day} = 144,000 \text{ words/day}
   \]

2. Now, divide the total number of words by the words you can read per day to find how many days it would take to read all the articles:
   \[
   \text{Days to read all words} = \frac{3.9109 \times 10^9 \text{ words}}{144,000 \text{ words/day}} \approx 27,155.2 \text{ days}
   \]

3. Finally, divide by 365 to convert the number of days into years:
   \[
   \text{Years} = \frac{27,155.2}{365} \approx 74.39 \text{ years}
   \]

So, it would take approximately **74.39 years** to read all the articles if you read at the given rate.

Let me know if you need further details or have any questions! Here are 5 related questions for practice:

1. How would the number of pages change if a Word document contained 800 words per page?
2. If you read 250 words per minute instead of 200, how many years would it take to finish reading the articles?
3. What would happen to the reading time if you set aside 8 hours a day instead of 12?
4. How many total minutes will it take to read the entire 3.9109 billion words?
5. If Wikipedia's word count grows by 5% annually, how many words will there be after 10 years?

### Tip:
When dealing with large numbers, breaking calculations into steps and using scientific notation can simplify the process!

The articles in the English edition of Wikipedia contain around 3.9109 words. A Word document contains around 700 words per page.
a) Approximately how many pages in Word correspond to the text in the English edition of Wikipedia?
b) If you read 200 words a minute and set aside 12 hours every day, how many years will it take you to read all the articles?

Learn how to calculate the number of Word document pages based on the word count of Wikipedia articles and determine how long it would take to read all articles at 200 words per minute, reading 12 hours per day. Suitable for students in Grades 9-11.
