Question

Destiny read ¼ of a book on the day she received it. The next day, she read 5/8 of the book. On the third day, she finished reading the book. What decimal represents the fraction of the book Destiny read on the third day

Answer 1

Answer:

hi,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the whole part of the book be 1

Destiny read ¼ of a book on the day she received it.

The next day, she read 5/8 of the book

So in two days part of the book she completed reading

1/4+5/8

=2+5/8

=7/8

So on the third day she completes reading

1-7/8

=8-7/8

=1/8

Destiny completes 1/8th part of the book in third day.
