Lee read 1/6 of book on monday and another 1/3 of it on tuesday ,he took another 4 days to finish reading the book he read the same number of pages on each of the days ,what fraction of the book did he read on each of these days?

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total fraction of the book read = 1

The remaining 4 days be represented as= x

Hence:

1 = Fraction of book read on Monday + Fraction of the book read on Tuesday + Fraction of the book on the remaining 4 days

1 = 1/6+ 1/3 + x

x = 1 - (1/6+ 1/3)

x = 1 - (1 + 2/6)

x = 1 - (3/6)

x = 1 - 1/2

x = 1/2

The fraction of the book read in 4 days = 1/2

To calculate the fraction of the book read on each of the days, since he read the same number of pages on each of the days we have:

1/2 ÷ 4 days

= 1/2 × 1/4

= 1/8

Therefore, the fraction of the book that was read on each of the 4 days is 1/8
