Question

Chung read 5/8 of a book one day and 1/4 of the book less than this the next day. What fraction of the book did Chung read on the second day? Did he finish the book in two days?

Answer 1

Yes he did finish the book on the second day as 1/4=2/8 so 5/8-2/8=3/8 so he read 5/8 on the first day and 3/8 on the second day and 5/8+3/8=8/8=1

Explanation:

1/4=2/8 so 5/8-2/8=3/8 so he read 5/8 on the first day and 3/8 on the second day and 5/8+3/8=8/8=1
