Question

A boy reads4/5 of a book and finds that there are still60 pages left how many pages are there in the book

Answer 1

Let the total number pf pages in the book be x

Book he has read =4/5

Book he hasnt read=1/5

No of pages not read =60

Therefore 1/5 of x =60

(1/5)*x=60

x/5=60

x=60*5

x=300

Answer 2

Fraction of the book read = 4/5

Find the fraction of the book that is unread:

Fraction of the book unread = 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Find the number of pages in the book:

1/5 of the book = 60 pages

5/5 of the book = 60 x 5 = 300 pages

Answer: There are 300 pages in the book
