Question

anita read 3/8 of the book on Monday and4/5 of the reminder on Tuesday.if there was 30g pages unread,how many pages did the book contain

Answer 1

Answer:

240 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

let Total no. of pages be x

No. pages read on Monday = 3/8 x

No. of pages left = x - 3/8x

= 5/8x

No. of pages read on Tuesday = 4/5 of 5/8x

=1/2x

No. of pages left = 30

Therefore, total no. of pages =

3/8x + 1/2x + 30

x = 7x + 240 / 8

8x = 7x + 240

x = 240 pages
