Ken read 30 pages of a book on monday and 1/8 of the book on tuesday, he completed the remaining 1/4od the book on wednesday.how many pages are there in the book?

Answer 1

let the total amount of pages be t
t=30+1/8t+2/8t
now simplify
t=30+3/8t
5/8t=30
divide 30 by 5
1/8=6
now you know 1/8 of the book is 6 pages which means the whole book has 48 pages.
