A student reads 2/5 of a book on the first day. On the second day he reads one third of the rest, and 60 pages are left. How many pages does the book have?

  1. 150 pages
  2. 100 pages
  3. 120 pages
  4. 180 pages
Show answer

Correct answer: 150 pages

After day one, 3/5 is left. On day two he reads 1/3 × 3/5 = 1/5. Left: 1 − 2/5 − 1/5 = 2/5, which is 60 pages. So the book = 60 ÷ 2/5 = 150 pages.
