Question

Jada has read 3/5 of a book. She read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book

Answer 1

Concept: Data Analysis

1. Jada has read 60% of the book
2. So 60% of the book is 75 pages
3. We want to find the whole count of pages
4. An easy way to do this is to see that for every 20% you have 15 pages
5. You need 40% So its 30 pages
6. So 75+30= 105 pages

Answer 2

Explanation:

3/5 of the book = 75 pages

5/5 of the book = 75 * (5/3) = 125 pages

Hence there are 125 pages in the whole book.
