Question

On the first day of vacation, you read one-quarter of a novel. On the second day, you read half of the remaining pages. On the third day, you read the last 108 pages of the novel.

How many pages does the novel have?
How many pages did you read by the end of the second day?

Answer 1

The novel has 288 pages, and by the 2nd day, you wouod of read 108 pages.

4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4 = 6/8

Half of 6/8 = 3/8 = 108 pgs.

108 + 108 = 216 ÷ 3 = 72 ×4 = 288
(3/8) (3/8) (6/8) (2/8) (4/4)

Hope this helps!
