Given that:

Part of the book Santa read before lunch = 1/5

Part of the book Santa read after lunch = 3/5

Part of the book Santa has read

= Part of the bok Santa read before lunch + Part of the book Santa read after lunch


\begin{gathered} =(1)/(5)+(3)/(5) \\ =(1+3)/(5) \\ =(4)/(5) \end{gathered}
