Question

Manisha read 1/5 of a book on Saturday and 3/10 on Sunday.What fraction of the book did she read during the weekend?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find how much she's read on Saturday and Sunday combined.

That is, let's find 1/4 + 2/3.

We start by writing these fractions with a common denominator, 12.

1/4 = 3/12 and 2/3 = 8/12. So 1/4 + 2/3 = 3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12.

So by Monday she has read 11/12 of the book and the remaining 5 pages are the remaining 1/12.

If 5 pages is 1/12 of the book, then the whole book would be 12 * 5 pages or 60 pages.

Hope that helped. Let me know if I can help explain it further. Thank you!
