Question

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?" (I NEED HELP)

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so
`(3)/(5)` will become
`(5)/(3)`.

Now we do 75 times
`(5)/(3)`/

`(75 * 5)/(3) \\\\\\\\(375)/(3) \\\\\\\\125`

So, there are 125 total pages in the book.
