I am looking for : How many pages are read in total?

Question

Problem said: 40 pages on Monday, 3/8 on Tuesday, 1/3 on Wednesday. How many pages intoral

Answer 1

Can you elaborate on "3/8 on Tuesday, 1/3 on Wednesday"? Do you mean 3/8 of the pages read on Monday on Tuesday and 1/3 of the pages read on Monday on Wednesday? Or are these fractions of the total pages in the book? If so how many pages are in the book?

Answer 2

3/8 + 1/3

9/24 + 8/24

17/24 were read on Tuesday and Wednesday

7/24 were read on Monday

7x/24 = 40

x = 137.14

Hmmm, something is not quite right.
