Hi friend

Your answer

NUMBER OF PAGES LEFT IN THE BOOK = 168 PAGES

FRACTION OF PAGES READ = 5/8

LET THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES BE X.

THEN,
----------

EQUATION,
------------------

$x - \frac{5}{8} x = 168 \\ \frac{8x - 5x}{8} = 168 \\ \frac{3x}{8} = 168 \\ x = \frac{168 \times 8}{3} \\ x = 448 \: pages$
THEREFORE,
----------------------

THERE ARE 448 PAGES IN THE BOOK.
