Answer:
Book of 240 pages has 12 booklets in total
Book of 160 pages has 8 booklets in total.
Total booklets both the books have in total = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - There are two books: one of 240 pages and the other of 160 pages. If the 2 books are made up of booklets with the same number of pages (between 16 and 28),
To find - How many booklets do the two books have in total?
Proof -
Given that, Number of pages of a booklet is between 16 and 28.
So, The number that lies between 16 and 28 will have to divide the number of pages of both the books.
(Because given that both the books are made up of booklet with the same number of pages)
By inspection, we get
The number of pages of a booklet = 20
because
240/20 = 12 and 160/20 = 8
∴ we get
1 booklet = 20 pages
i.e.
20 pages = 1 booklet
⇒1 page =
⇒240 pages = = 12 booklet
So, we get
The book of 240 pages has 12 booklets in it.
Now,
1 page =
⇒160 pages = = 8 booklet
So, we get
The book of 160 pages has 8 booklets in it.
∴ we get
Book of 240 pages has 12 booklets in total
Book of 160 pages has 8 booklets in total.
So, Total booklets both the books have = 12 + 8 = 20
