TNisha has to submit a three page book report at the end of this week on Monday. She completed 5/6 of a page of the report on Tuesday. She completed another 2/7 pages how many pages total hats near complaining of her book
To find the total number of pages Tisha has completed, we need to add the fraction of a page she completed on Tuesday (5/6) to the fraction of a page she completed on Wednesday (2/7).
5/6 + 2/7 = (35/42) + (12/42) = 47/42.
Since Tisha completed 47/42 pages, which is more than 1 page, she has completed 1 page of her book report.
To find out how many pages Tisha has left to complete her book report, we need to subtract the amount of work she has already done from the total required number of pages.
Total required number of pages = 3
Amount of work completed on Tuesday = 5/6 of a page
Amount of work completed on another day = 2/7 of a page
To find the total amount of work completed, we add these two values together:
5/6 of a page + 2/7 of a page = (5*7)/(6*7) + (2*6)/(7*6)
= 35/42 + 12/42
= 47/42
Now, to find the remaining work, we subtract the completed work from the total required:
Remaining work = Total required number of pages - Amount of work completed = 3 - 47/42
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator for both fractions (42 in this case):
Remaining work = 3 - 47/42 = (3*42)/42 - 47/42
= 126/42 - 47/42
= (126 - 47)/42
= 79/42
Therefore, Tisha still has to complete 79/42 pages of her book report.
