Question

Eric read 1/3 of a book on Monday. He read 5/6 of the remaining pages on Tuesday and the rest of the book on Wednesday. He read 32 more pages on Tuesday than on Wednesday. How many pages does the book have altogether?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 72 pages

Step-by-step explanation: We know that he read 1/3 (or 3/9) of the book on Monday, and that on Tuesday he read 5/6 of what was left, which is 5/9 of the whole book (5/6•2/3=10/18 or 5/9).
