Let p = the actual number of pages Amy wrote and let d = the actual number of days she wrote these pages. Then, we have 315 ≤ p ≤ 324 and 15 ≤ d ≤ 24. Since x = p/d, the maximum value of x is the maximum value of p divided by the minimum value of d, which is 324/15. Similarly, the minimum value of x is the minimum value of p divided by the maximum value of d, which is 315/24. That is, 315/24 ≤ x ≤ 324/15.
