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}
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
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
