Based on the fact that Sienna has read 60 pages, we can infer that Micha has read 375 pages of the book.

Sienna has read 40% of what Rhys has read and that corresponds to 60 pages. The number of pages read by Rhys is therefore:

<em>= Number of pages / Percentage read </em>

= 60 / 40%

= 150 pages

The 150 pages read by Rhys is 40% of what Micah has read. Micah has therefore read:

= 150 / 40%

= 375 pages

In conclusion, Micah has read 375 pages.
