You have already read 117 pages of a book. You are one third of the way through the book. Write and solve and equation to find the number of pages in the book.



Answer :

If you have read 117 pages of a book and it's one third of the book, then:

117 = 1/3 x              / * 3 (both sides)
x = 351

So the book has 351 pages overall.
I think u would do 117 x 3 because that is one third of the book and if u did 117 x 3 and the divided the product by 3 u would get 117.
