Question

before lunch time Abigail and Teresa each read some pages from different books. read 5 or one fifth of the pages in her book. Teresa read 6 pages or one sixth of pages in her book. whose book had more pages? how many more pages

Answer 1

Since 5 is 1/5 of Abigail’s book, you multiply 5 x 5 and get 25.
Abigail’s book has 25 pages.
Since 6 is 1/6 of Teresa’s book, you multiply 6 x 6 and get 36.
Teresa’s book has 36 pages.
36 - 25 = 11
Teresa’s book has 11 more pages than Abigail’s book.

Answer 2

teresa because she read more pages but less book was finished(she only read one sixth unlike abigail one fifth)
