Question

On the first day of vacation, you read one-quarter of a novel. On the second day, you read half of the remaining pages. On the third day, you read the last 120 pages of the novel.
How many pages does the novel have?
How many pages did I read on the second day?

Answer 1

The computation shows that the number of pages is 320.

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

How to illustrate the information?

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
