Question

After reading 234 pages of a book Henry still had 1/3 left of the book. How mnay pages are their in the whole book?

Answer 1

Answer:

702 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3= 234

234*3=702

Answer 2

Answer:

351 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

If Henry still has 1/3 left that means that 234 was 2/3 of the book because 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = The whole book.

To find out how many pages 1/3 is, we have to divide 234 by 2 because 234 is 2 thirds added together or 1 third multiplied by 2 and the inverse of that is divided by 2.

234 ÷ 2 = 117

So 1/3 is equal to 117 pages.

Like I said before 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = The whole book.

117 is equal to 1/3 and 234 is equal to 2/3 so we add them together.

117 + 234 = 351

I hope that made sense.
