Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To have 16 more pages means he has 20% more of the book to cover if he has already covered 80%

Let the number of pages in the book be X

20% of X = 16

20/ 100. * X = 16

1/ 5 * X = 16 >>> X = 16 * 5 = 80 pages.

What is 1 7/8 Times 2 1\3

slamgirl [31]

We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

1*8 = 8
8+7 = 15

15/8

2*3 = 6
6+1 = 7

7/3

Now we can finish and multiply

$\frac{15*7}{8*3}$

15*7 = 105
8*3 = 24

Simplify 105/24

105/24

24*4 = 96

105 - 96 = 9

4 is the whole number, and 9 is the numerator.

4 9/24

Simplify that,

9/3 = 3
24/3 = 8

4 3/8

Answer: $4\frac{3}{8}$
