4/5ths of the book is left after you read 1/5th so to find 5/5ths you take 480 and divide it by 4 which is 120 and times that by 5 which is 600. Hope this helps

Answer:

600 pages

Explanation:

We Know

Amanda finished reading 1/5 of her book.

She had 480 pages remaining (4/5 of the book remaining).

How many pages are in the entire book?

We Take

(480 ÷ 80) x 100 = 600 pages

So, the entire book has 600 pages.
