Question

During the christmas break, Gabriel read 2/9 of a book on tuesday , 1/3 of it on wednesday, and the rest, 160 pages, on thursday. How many pages were there in the book

Answer 1

Answer:

360 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of pages in book be x

therefore 2/9x + 1/3x + 160 = x

5/9x + 160 = x

160 = x - 5/9x

160 = 4/9x

x = 360
