Hey mate!!!!
Given 5/8 books read then 168 are left.
So fraction left =
![1 - \frac{5}{8} \\ = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3}{8} 1 - \frac{5}{8} \\ = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1+-++%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D++%5C%5C++%3D++%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B8%7D++-++%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B8%7D++%3D++%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D+)
so 3/8 is left
so this means 3/8 = 168
![\frac{3}{8} = 168 \\ 1 = 168 \div \frac{3}{8} \\ 1 = 168 \times \frac{8}{3} = 448 \frac{3}{8} = 168 \\ 1 = 168 \div \frac{3}{8} \\ 1 = 168 \times \frac{8}{3} = 448](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D++%3D+168+%5C%5C+1+%3D+168+%5Cdiv++%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D++%5C%5C+1+%3D+168+%5Ctimes++%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B3%7D++%3D+448)
so 448 pages are total.
There are 448 pages in the book.
Hope it helps dear friend ☺️✌️✌️

whole book = 1
pages reader = 5/8
so pages left = 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
we know , pages left = 168
so, 3/8 = 168
now, 1/8 = 168/3
= 56
now if 1/8 = 56
then 8/8 = 56 × 8
= 448
total pages in the book = 448 pages
