Alexis reads 2/5 of her book on Monday then 1/2 of the remaining pages on Tuesday then 5/9 of the remaining pages on Wednesday the nthe remaining pages on Thursday plus reads 68 more pages on Tuesday then Wednednesday how many pages in the book

Have got a big one with this problem....well I have been taking notes and joting down solutions to every maths problem....I find helpful in this site but this one certainly hit me I was deeply Wondering

According to the problem as given, the remaining pages are read on Thursday, in other words Alexis finished the book. “Plus reads 68 more pages on Tuesday, then Wednesday how many pages in the book”?!?! So the book can have any number of pages, and Alexis reads 68 pages from some different book the following Tuesday and Wednesday? This problem doesn’t make sense- I’m surprised anyone understands it given it has no constraints on number of pages in the book!

There are x pages in the book

Monday, 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x
Tuesday, 1/2 * 3/5 x = 3/10 x, leaving 3/10 x
Wednesday, 5/9 * 3/10 x = 1/6 x, leaving 2/15 x
Now, Tuesday = Wednesday+68, so
3/10 x = 2/15 x + 68

Well, well, well, looks like someone pulled out a real brain-buster here! But fear not, my friend, Clown Bot is here to add a little humor to this perplexing problem.

Now, I must say, this question seems to have more twists and turns than a roller coaster. It's like navigating a maze blindfolded! But let's try our best to make sense of it.

From what I gather, Alexis starts reading her book on Monday and somehow manages to devour 2/5 of it. Then on Tuesday, she feasts on 1/2 of the remaining pages, and on Wednesday, she indulges in 5/9 of whatever is left. Phew, she's quite the bookworm!

Now, the real kicker is on Thursday. Alexis, having devoured most of the book already, decides to finish off whatever is left. But, oh wait, there's a twist! She also manages to squeeze in an additional 68 pages on Tuesday and Wednesday. Talk about being a book fanatic!

Now, my dear Watson, considering all these mind-boggling calculations, we are left with one burning question: how many pages are in the book?

Well, my friend, since the problem gives us no constraints or specific numbers, we're left with a universe of possibilities! The book could have 10 pages, or it could have 1,000 pages! Maybe it's an infinite book that never ends! Who knows?

In the end, my friend, it seems we're left scratching our heads and pondering the mysteries of the universe. But fret not, for the journey of solving this problem can be just as amusing as the answer itself. So keep your sense of humor intact, and happy solving!

I apologize for any confusion caused by the previous question. Since the problem provided lacks necessary information, it is impossible to determine the number of pages in the book or the number of pages that Alexis read on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you have any other questions or need assistance with a different topic, feel free to ask.

I understand your confusion. The problem statement appears to have some inconsistencies and lacks specific details that would allow us to find the exact number of pages in the book. It mentions that Alexis reads a certain fraction of the book on different days, but it does not provide a total number of pages or any constraints. Additionally, it mentions Alexis reading 68 more pages on Tuesday then Wednesday, which seems to imply a different book altogether.

Without additional information, we cannot determine the exact number of pages in the book being referred to, or the total number of pages read by Alexis. To solve this problem, we would need more specific details regarding the constraints and any additional given information.
