Answer 1

33

Explanation:

Answer 2

Th number of pages is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of pages of text shown in the illustration is 3:2. This implies that for every 2 pages of illustrations, there are 3 pages of text. Therefore, for 22 pages of illustration we shall have;

2 page of illustration = 3 page of text

Then

22 page of illustration = x pages of text

Then by Cross multiplication

`22 * 3 = x * 2`

`66 = 2x`

x =
`(66)/(2)`

x = 33
