bluegargantuaStory Problem #3:
Tom has decided to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. To help pace himself, he has created an outline which breaks up the novel into 11 blocks of plot development. He then further breaks down each block into 5 sub-units.
Question #1: How many words are in each sub-unit?
Tom has set a minimum word-count goal of at least 2000 words/day and then decides to act as if each sub-unit represented a full day's work.
Question #2: How many extra words is Tom writing on each sub-unit? How would this be expressed as a percentage?
Question #3: Assuming Tom has been meeting his daily minimum word-count for the past three days, what percentage of his novel is complete in terms of his word goal? What percentage of his novel is complete in terms of his plot outline?
Question #4: How incredibly BORING is Tom's novel so far? Express your answer in terms of Vivians.
Be sure and show all work.
