We have , to read 10 1/2 pages or [tex]10\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages for homework . Till now we have read 1/3 of the assignment or [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the assignment . We need to find How many pages did you read . Let's find out:
Basically we read 1/3 part of the 10 1/2 pages assignment i.e.
⇒ [tex]10\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{3})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{20+1}{2}(\frac{1}{3})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{21}{2}(\frac{1}{3})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{3(7)}{2}(\frac{1}{3})[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages
Therefore , We read [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages .
