Question

Suruchi is reading a book that is 333 pages long. So far, she has read 5/9 of the book. How many pages does Suruchi have left to

Answer 1

Answer:

148 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to solve a problem like this is looking at it a different way

$333 * \frac{5}{9}$ is the same problem as the one youre doing

you can bring it further by making it $\frac{333}{1} * \frac{5}{9}$ then multiple across

333 * 5 = 1665 and 1*9 = 9 so youre left with

1665/9 which equals 185 pages she has already read

you then have to subtract what she has read from the rest of the book

333-185 = ((148))

Answer 2

Answer:

148 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

5/9 of 333 is 185

333-185=148
