Question

Melody and Khaleaf are starting new books in their literature classes. Melody's book has 265 total pages and Khaleaf's book has 424 total pages. So far, Melody has read 2/5 of the total pages in her book. What fraction of Khaleaf's book must he read in order to read the same number of pages as Melody has read so far?

Answer 1

Pages read by Melody:

`265*(2)/(5)=106`

Since Khaleaf's book has 424 total pages:

`\begin{gathered} 424x=106 \\ \text{where:} \\ x=\text{fraction} \\ x=(106)/(424) \\ x=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`
