Question

The Flesch Reading Ease Test is a test that ranks the reading level of passages.† Let W be the total number of words in the passage, S the number of sentences, and L the number of syllables. Then the Flesch test calculates the score F of the passage using the formula

F = 206.835 − 1.015w/s-84.6L/w

(b) For the rest of this exercise we consider passages that have 20 sentences and 300 syllables. Find a formula expressing F as a function of W for such passages.
F = 1/w(206.835w-0.0575w^2-25380)
 
 
d) What is the maximum number of words in the passages considered in part (b)? (Can there be more words than syllables?)
 words

(e) Bear in mind your answer from part (d), and determine the maximum possible Flesch score F for the passages considered in part (b). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
