“Read page 7” or “read seven pages”?

When someone says “7ページをお読んでください”, do they mean “Read page 7” or “Read 7 pages”?

How do you distinguish between the two?

  1. You specify an exact ordinal with 目 (め).

    5回 – Five times

    5回目 – The fifth time

    Same thing with ページ

  2. I think it can mean both but “read page 7” is the more natural interpretation in most contexts

  3. Could you distinguish it as 7ページを読んでください (read page 7) or ページを7枚読んでください (read 7 pages)?
