Question

Andrew started to read a nove

Answer 1

He read 5/8 of the book in 6 days, which at 15 pages per day is 90 pages.

 

5/8 * ? = 90

 

? = 90 * 8 /5 = 144

 

The book is 144 pages long.

He read, 90 pages in 6 days.

There are 54 pages left.

54/144 = 27/72 = 3/8

He will finish it in 54/15 < 4 days

 

144 pages
