C. 5/8
D. 23/40

Hey guys is the answer really A
I got to get this in right now or else my grades is gonna drop to like a 37% in math
1: D
2: 2
idk
idk
idk
Ryan Brannon I hope you are right. Cause If you are not, my dad will be soooooo mad if I fail summer school :/
To solve this problem, we need to find the fraction that represents the amount of the book that is left after Sue reads another 2/7 of her book.
First, let's calculate how much of the book that Sue has already read. She has 7/8 of the book left, which means she has already read 1 - 7/8 = 1/8 of the book.
Next, Sue reads another 2/7 of the book. To calculate the total fraction that Sue has read, we add the fraction she has already read (1/8) with the fraction she just read (2/7).
1/8 + 2/7 = 7/56 + 16/56 = 23/56
Since we want to find the fraction that represents the amount of the book that is left, we subtract the fraction of the book that Sue has read from 1 (the whole book).
1 - 23/56 = 56/56 - 23/56 = 33/56
Therefore, the answer is option A. 33/56.
