Question

14) A book had 144 stories. Ruchi read 3/16
of them and her friend Disha read
2/3
of them. How many stories did
each of them read? Assuming that both read different stories, what fraction of the stories was not read?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruchi = 144 × 3/16 = 27 stories were read by Ruchi

Disha = 144 × 2/3 = 96 stories were read by Disha

total number of stories read by both of them = 27+ 96

= 123

remaining stories = 144 - 123 = 21

then the fraction of stories not read = 21/144

= 7/48
