So call the fraction of the book read on Monday, $\"X\"$ , and the total number of pages, $\"P\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X%2AP%2B%281%2F8%29P%2B%281%2F4%29P=P\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X%2B1%2F8%2B1%2F4=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=1-2%2F8-1%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So 5/8ths of the book is equal to 30 pages,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285%2F8%29P=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=30%288%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
