Question

Sully has completed 3/10 of a book. He has read 45 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?

Answer 1

150 pages

Explanation:

3/10 is equal to 0.3, or 30% of the book. We can set up an equation to find the total number of pages in the book, with x representing the number of pages.

0.3x=45

0.3x/0.3=45/0.3

x=150

Answer 2

there are 150 pages in the whole book
