Question

Salim read 5/7. of a book on Monday and 3/14. of it on Tuesday What fraction of the book should be read on Wednesday so as to finish it?​

Answer 1

Sum of all fractions =1

So, let the fraction of book he has to read on Wednesday be x

hence,

5/7 +  3/14 + x = 1

x= 1- 5/7 - 3/14

x= (14- 10-3)14   (Taking LCM)

THEREFORE, x= 1/14

Answer 2

Given :

• Salim read 5/7 of a book on Monday.

• 3/14 of it on Tuesday.

To find :

• Fraction of the book should be read on Wednesday so as to finish it =?

Step-by-step explanation :

It is Given that,

Salim read 5/7 of a book on Monday and 3/14 of it on Tuesday.

So,

Total reading book of Salim on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday = 1

Let, Salim have to read book on Wednesday be, x.

According to the question,

➮ 5/7 + 3/14 + x = 1

➮ (10 + 3)/14 + x = 1

➮ 13/14 + x = 1

➮ x = 1 - 13/14

➮ x = 14 - 13/14

➮ x = 1/14

Therefore, Fraction of the book should be read on Wednesday so as to finish it = 1/14
