Question

Kavita reads3/8 of a book on a day and 2/5of the remainder on the second day and still 48 pages are left find total pages of the book.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pages be x

So

First day = x × 3/8 = 3x/8 page

Remaining pages left =

X - 3x/8 = (8x - 3x)/8 = 5x/8

Second day = 5x/8 × 2/5 = x/4

Remaining pages = 5x/8 - x/4 = (5x - 2x)/8 = 3x/8

But Given that remaining pages left = 48

=> 3x/8 = 48

= 3x = 48 × 8

= x = 48 × 8/3

= x = 128

So total number of pages in the book = 128
