9:4:5.....added together = 18
9/18 (72) = 648/18 = 36
4/18 (72) = 288/18 = 16
5/18 (72) = 360/18 = 20
so we have 36:16:20
Whoever goes first will lose, that's the solution
Using the fundamental counting theorem, we have that:
- 648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
- There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
- The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.
The fundamental counting principle states that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are ways to do both things.
For the area code:
- 8 options for the first digit.
- 9 options for the second and third.
Thus:

648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
For the number of 10-digit phone numbers:
- 7 digits, each with 10 options.
- 648 different area codes.
Then

There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.

Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:
55-20= the pages Andre read
55-20=35
Andre read 35 pages.
If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)
35 x 5= 175
There are 175 pages in the book.
