320 pages (rounded to nearest tens) - means 315 to 324
20 days (rounded to nearest tens) - means 15 to 24

The average is pages /days.

Max average will be (max pages)/(least days) \(=\frac{324}{15}\)

Min average will be (min pages)/(max days) \(=\frac{315}{24}\)

The range, therefore, is \(\frac{315}{24} \leq x \leq \frac{324}{15}\)
