Geoff is reading a book. On Monday he reads 1/3 of the book. On Tuesday he reads 3/10 of the remaining pages. He has 35 pages left to read. How many pages are in the book?
Monday 1/3 read means 2/3 unread
Tuesday reads 3/10 of 2/3
He has 1/5 of the book left = 35
multiply 5 times 35 to get your answer.

THE ANSWER IS 75
1/3 of 75=25
75-25=50
50+25=75
oops - 3/10 of 2/3 = 2/10 = 1/5
1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15
so, 7/15 x = 35
x = 75
check:
on Monday read 1/3, or 25 pages, leaving 50 unread
On Tuesday read 3/10 of 50 = 15 pages, leaving 35 unread
Good job
