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?

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.
