Question

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?" (I NEED HELP)

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so $\frac{3}{5}$ will become $\frac{5}{3}$.

Now we do 75 times $\frac{5}{3}$/

$\frac{75 * 5}{3} \\\\\\\\\frac{375}{3} \\\\\\\\125$

So, there are 125 total pages in the book.
