​

Answer 1

Answer:

1st part has 627pages

2nd part has 755pages.

Answer 2

Answer:

659,723pages

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two parts be x and y

then x+y=1382

given that second part of the book has 64 pages more than the first part so y=x+64

x+x+64=1382

2x+64=1382

2x=1382-64

2x=1318

x=659

y=x+64

y=659+64=723
