Part A: Clancey and Ethan are starting new books. So far, Clancey has read 1/4 of his book, which has 240 total pages and Ethan has read 2/5 of his book, which has 170 total pages. Who has read more pages so far, Clancey or Ethan?Of the combined total number of pages in both books, what fraction have clancey and ethan read combined?

Sagot :

In order to find who has read more pages, let's find the number of pages read by each one.

The number of pages read by Clancey is:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\cdot240=\frac{240}{4}=60[/tex]

The number of pages read by Ethan is:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\cdot170=\frac{340}{5}=68[/tex]

So Ethan read more pages.

The combined number of pages in both books is 240 + 170 = 410.

The combined number of pages read is 60 + 68 = 128

So the fraction is:

[tex]\frac{128}{410}=\frac{64}{205}[/tex]
