Question

1. On Monday, Sarah

started reading her book
that has 26 chapters. On
Monday, she read 9/26 of
her book. On Tuesday she
read 6/26 of her book. How
much does she have left to
read?

Answer 1

Sara have 11 chapters left to read.

Explanation:

Total chapters Book has = 26

On Monday Sarah read =
`(9)/(26)\ of \ 26 \ chapters = (9)/(26)* \ 26 \ chapters=9 \ chapters`

On Tuesday Sarah read =
`(6)/(26)\ of \ 26 \ chapters = (6)/(26)* \ 26 \ chapters=6 \ chapters`

Total Chapters read by Sarah =
`9+6= 15 \ chapters`

Chapters left to read by Sarah =
`26-15 = 11 \ chapters`

So, Sara have 11 chapters left to read.
