Martha read 1/6 of her book on Saturday and 5/12 of her book on Sunday how many more pages do she have to read
How many pages are in the whole book?
To find out how many more pages Martha has to read, we first need to know the total number of pages in her book. Unfortunately, that information is missing from the question, so we cannot provide an exact answer.
However, we can show you how to calculate it once you have the total number of pages.
Let's assume the total number of pages in Martha's book is P.
On Saturday, she read 1/6 of her book, which is (1/6) * P = P/6 pages.
On Sunday, she read 5/12 of her book, which is (5/12) * P = (5P)/12 pages.
To find out how many more pages Martha needs to read, we subtract the pages she read from the total number of pages:
Total pages - Pages read = Pages remaining
Pages remaining = P - (P/6 + (5P)/12)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Pages remaining = P - (2P + 5P)/12
Pages remaining = P - 7P/12
Pages remaining = (12P - 7P)/12
Pages remaining = 5P/12
So, if you have the total number of pages in Martha's book (P), you can find out how many more pages she needs to read by calculating (5P/12).
