Jason read 5/8 of a book in one day and 1/4 of the book less than this the next day. What fraction of the book did Jason read the second day? Did he finish the book in two days?
He answered 5/8 the first day. THe next day he answered 1/4 less or 2/8 less which means he read 3/8 of the book the second day. Both days he read 5/8 + 3/8 = 8/8 = 1 so yes he read the entire book in the two days
