Answer 1

Let the total pages of the book be x.

Fraction of book read on the first day : 3/8 of x

Fraction read on the second day : 2/5 of x

Pages left : 48

Equation →

$\frac{3}{8}x + \frac{2}{5}x + 48 = x$

$= \frac{31}{40}x + 48 = x$

$\frac{39x + 192}{40} = x$

$= 39x + 192 = 40x$

$= x = 192$

Hence, the total pages of the book are 192.
