I'LL MARK AS BRAINLIEST ​

Answer 1

let the total no of pages be x

then take 4/5 multiply by x =60

solve the equation

4x/5 multiply by x = 60

x = 60 multiply by 5 / 4

x = 300/4

x = 75 pages

Answer 2

Answer:

A boy reads 4/5 of a book

pages left= 1 - 4/5 =1/5

Let the total no of pages = x

therefore

1/5 * x =60

x =300

the number of pages in the book = x=300
