1/4th part of a book was read in One day.1 book is 1
so, remaining = 1-1/4th = 3/4th part
1/3rd part of a book was read in second day.
so,pages read on second day = 3/4th × 1/3rd = 1/4th
Total pages read in two days = 1/4+=2/4 also called 1/2
Let the number of pages be x
1/2×2=x/2
ATO(According to the question),
x =100 × 2
x = 200
The boy read 1/2 part of a book in two days
The book which boy read has 200 pages.
so, remaining = 1-1/4th = 3/4th part
1/3rd part of a book was read in second day.
so,pages read on second day = 3/4th × 1/3rd = 1/4th
Total pages read in two days = 1/4+=2/4 also called 1/2
Let the number of pages be x
1/2×2=x/2
ATO(According to the question),
x =100 × 2
x = 200
The boy read 1/2 part of a book in two days
The book which boy read has 200 pages.
