Frank read 5/9 of a book one day.
\n" ); document.write( " The next day he read 3/5 of what he read on the first day.
\n" ); document.write( " What fraction of the book did Frank read on the second day?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F9\"$ * $\"3%2F5\"$ = $\"15%2F45\"$ = $\"1%2F3\"$ read on the 2nd day
\n" ); document.write( " Did he finish the book in two days?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F9\"$ + $\"1%2F3\"$ =
\n" ); document.write( "use the common denominator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F9\"$ + $\"3%2F9\"$ = $\"8%2F9\"$ of the book, so not quite \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
