Question

A boy reads 2 by 3 of a book on first day and 1by3 on the second day on which day did he read major part of the book​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that a boy reads 2/3 of a book on the first day and 1/5 on the second day.

Now to find on which day did he read major part of the book. we need to check which number in 2/3 and 1/5 is bigger.

Since their denominators are not equal so first we need to make them equal.

Easiest way is to multiply each fraction by denominator of other as shown below:

Now by looking at numerator we can easily tell which one is bigger.

we see that 10/15 is more which is obtained from 2/3.

Hence on the first day he read major part of the book.
