Question

Peter is reading a new novel. It is 456 pages. So far he has read 3/8 of

the whole book. How many pages has Peter read of the new novel?

Answer 1

171 pages

Explanation:

First we should find out how much is 1/8 of 456

456 / 8 = 57

Now that we know how much 1/8 of 456 is, we can multiply 57 by 3 so we can find out how many pages Peter read of the new novel

57 x 3 = 171

So Peter has read 171 pages of the novel so far
