Question

Joseph read 25 pages of a book containing 100 pages peter read 2/5 of the same who read less​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it helps friend :) have great day ahead

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pages in the book = 100 pages

Number of pages read by joseph = 25 pages

Fraction of pages read by peter =

25/100

=1/4

Fraction of pages read by peter =2/5

Comparing the two fractions, we have

LCM of 4 & 5 is 20

1/4

=1×5/4×5

=5/20

2/5

=2×4/4×5

=8/20

5/20<8/20

⇒1/4<2/5

So, joseph read lesser number of pages than peter.
