Question

A boy reads 3/8th of a book on one day and 4/5th of the remaining on another day . If there were 30 pages unread how many pages did the book contain

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3/8 of the book were read the first day, then 5/8 remained. So now 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 have been read. The 30 pages that remain must be 1/8 of the total.

Answer 2

Here is your answer:-

Lets imagine, total pages as x

3/8 th of the book was read on the first day.

so, there are 5/8th of the pages left.

on the second day, (4/5)(5/8) = (4/8)

totally, (3/8)+(4/8) = (7/8)th of the pages were

completed and (1/8)th of the book is left which is given as 30.

(1/8)(x) = 30

=> x= 240.

so, totally, the book contains 240 pages.

Hope this helps you ♥️✌
