Answer 1

Francesca reads a book on the beach. There are 4 chapters. The first is 53 pages, the second 37 pages, the third 61 pages and the fourth 29 pages.

How many pages does the book have in total?

53+37+61+29 = 180 pages

If Francesca wants to read the book in three equal parts, how many pages will each part contain?​

180/3=60 pages

each part will contain 60 pages

Answer 2

each part must contain 60 pages

Explanation:

add all the pages

53+37+61+29 = 180 pages

If she wants to read the book in 3 equal parts, divide all the pages by 3

180÷3=60
