Answer :

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total pages in a book be x.

Riya read 7/9 of the book = 7x/9

Fraction of the pages left unread = 1 - 7x/9 = 2x/9

Given that 40 pages left unread, implies that

2x/9 = 40

2x = 40 × 9

Divide both sides

x = 360/2 = 180

Hence, the books has 180 pages in total.
