Question

Jess read 3/5 of a book. She has 60 more pages to read. How many pages does the book have?

Answer 1

She needs to read another 2 / 5 of the book.

x = pages

She has 60 more pages to read means:

2 / 5 x = 60

Multiply both sides by 5

2 x = 300

x = 300 / 2

x = 150

Answer 2

Jess read 3/5 of a book. She has 60 more pages to read. How many pages does the book have?

So we know that 2/5 of the book is 60 pages so we can divide that by 2 to get how many pages in each 1/5

60 divided by 2 is 30

So now we multiply 30 by 5

and we get the answer

Have a great day or night!

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

Let's denote the total number of pages in the book as "x".

According to the information given, Jess has read 3/5 of the book, so the number of pages she has read is (3/5)x.

We also know that Jess has 60 more pages to read, so the remaining number of pages in the book is x - (3/5)x = (2/5)x.

Since Jess has 60 more pages to read, we can write the equation: (2/5)x = 60.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2.

(2/5)x * (5/2) = 60 * (5/2)
x = 150

Therefore, the book has 150 pages.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the total number of pages in the book, we need to determine the number of pages Jess has already read and add the remaining pages she still needs to read.

We are given that Jess has read 3/5 of the book, so we can represent this as a fraction:

Fraction of book read = 3/5

We know that 3/5 of the book is equivalent to 60 pages, so we can set up the equation:

(3/5) * x = 60

To solve for x, which represents the total number of pages in the book, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3:

((3/5) * x) * (5/3) = 60 * (5/3)

Simplifying the equation:

x = (60 * 5) / 3

x = 300 / 3

x = 100

Therefore, the book has 100 pages in total.
