i have a division problem that i also need to draw a diagram. Question: Hallie has 4 times as many pages to read for her homework as Janet. Altogether they have to read 40 pages. How many more pages does Hallie have to read than Janet?

HINT:
j = Janet's pages; then Hallie's pages = 4j
j + 4j = 40 ; solve for j

As far as "diagram", give specifications.
