Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

• A book having 240 pages
• And thickness of about having 51/4 cm

What we have to find

• Find the thickness of each page ?

How to solve this type of questions

• Assume a variable for example x or y .
• According to the given statement setup the two equation in terms of x or y .

Let as assume

• The thickness of each page be x

¤ Finding the thickness of page

Forming an equation

• x + 240 = 51/4 this is our equation

Now solving equation

➟ x + 240 = 51/4

• transferring sides

➟ x + 4 = 240 × 51

• by multiplying 240 × 51 , we get 960

➟ x + 4 = 960

• Again transferring sides , we get

➟ x = 960/4

• Dividing 960 by 4

➟ x = 18.82

■ Therefore the thickness of page be 18.82 cm
