Question

Rakesh reads 2/9 of a book on friday ,1/3 of it on saturday and the remaining 160 pages on sunday . how many pages does the book have in all?

Answer 1

let the no. of pages be x
then on Friday he read =2/9 * x
and on Saturday he read = 1/3 * x
so, according to question
x - ( 2x/9 + x /3 ) = 160
x - ( 2x +3x/9 )=160
x - (5x/9 )=160
9x - 5x/9 =160
4x/9 =160
x = 160*9/4
x = 40*9
x = 360
so, answer is 360

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let total pages =x

on friday=2/9x pages

on saturday =x/3 pages

remaining=160pages

2/9x+x/3+160=x

160=x/1-2x-9-x/3

160=9x-2x-3x/9

160=4x/9

x=160*9/4

x=360pages
