Question

I read 1/8
th of a book on one day and 1/4 th of the
remainder on another day. If there were 30 pages
unread, how many pages the book contain ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

240 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Hunar,

If 3/8 of the book were read the first day, then 5/8 remained.

4/5 of 5/8 = 4/5 * 5/8 = 4/8

So now 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 have been read.

The 30 pages that remain must be 1/8 of the total.

So if p is the total number of pages:

p/8 = 30

p = 240 pages

hope that helps.
