Question

Rafael, Denise, and Philippe are doing a project together. They decide to base the project on a book that is 540 pages long. Rafael plans to read a certain number of pages. Denise will read 3/4 of the number of pages Rafael reads, and Philippe will read 1/2 of the number of pages that Rafael reads. How many pages will Rafael read? 180 240 300 432

Answer 1

We will need to make an equation.  I set the amount of pages that Rafael will read equal to R.  Denise reads 3/4 as much as Rafael, so D = 3/4 R.  Philippe reads 1/2 as much as Rafael, so P = 1/2 R. 

D + P + R = 3/4R + 1/2R + R = 540

9/4R = 540

R = 240, Rafael will read 240.
