Question

A girl reads 3 by 5 of a book. if that book contains 240 pages then how many pages are left to read.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

96.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the girl has read $\frac{3}{5}^{th}$ of a book, then she has not read $1-\frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}^{th}$ of the book.

So, $\frac{2}{5}\cdot 240 = 2\cdot 48 =96$ pages left to read.

Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of pages=240

Number of pages read =(3/5)x240

                                      =144

Number of pages left to read =240-144

                                                  =96
