Melody and Khaleaf are starting new books in their literature classes. Melody's book has 265 total pages and Khaleaf's book has 424 total pages. So far, Melody has read 2/5 of the total pages in her book. What fraction of Khaleaf's book must he read in order to read the same number of pages as Melody has read so far?

Answer :

Pages read by Melody:

[tex]265\times\frac{2}{5}=106[/tex]

Since Khaleaf's book has 424 total pages:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 424x=106 \\ \text{where:} \\ x=\text{fraction} \\ x=\frac{106}{424} \\ x=\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]
