Answer:

Arithmetic content = 300 pages

Geometric content = 180 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic : Geometry = 5 : 3

Total pages of book = 480

How much of each type of content will be needed to make a book of 480 pages?

Total ratio = arithmetic + geometric

= 5 + 3

= 8

Arithmetic content = 5 / 8 × 480

= 0.625 × 480

= 300

Arithmetic content = 300 pages

Geometric content = 3 / 8 × 480

= 0.375 × 480

= 180

Geometric content = 180 pages
