The computation shows that the number of pages is 320.

The number of pages read in this second day will be 120.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

Fraction read on first day = 1/4

Fraction news on second day = 1/2 × 3/4 = 3/8

Fraction read on last day = 1 - (1/4 + 3/8) =3/8

The number of pages that the book has will be:

= 3/8 × x = 120

0.375x = 120

x = 120/0.375

x = 320

The number of pages is 320.

b. The number of pages read on this second day will be:

= 3/8 × 320

= 120
