Here's the solution for question 1b.

Let PP be the total number of pages in the book.

  1. Calculate the fraction of pages Bari read on Monday.

    Bari read 25\frac{2}{5} of the pages on Monday.

    Pages read on Monday=25P\text{Pages read on Monday} = \frac{2}{5} P
  2. Calculate the fraction of pages remaining after Monday.

    Remaining pages after Monday=P−25P=(1−25)P=35P\text{Remaining pages after Monday} = P - \frac{2}{5} P = \left(1 - \frac{2}{5}\right) P = \frac{3}{5} P
  3. Calculate the fraction of pages Bari read on Tuesday.

    On Tuesday, Bari read 23\frac{2}{3} of the remaining pages.

    Pages read on Tuesday=23×(35P)=2×33×5P=615P=25P\text{Pages read on Tuesday} = \frac{2}{3} \times \left(\frac{3}{5} P\right) = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 5} P = \frac{6}{15} P = \frac{2}{5} P
  4. Calculate the total fraction of pages read on Monday and Tuesday.

    Total fraction read=Fraction read on Monday+Fraction read on Tuesday\text{Total fraction read} = \text{Fraction read on Monday} + \text{Fraction read on Tuesday} Total fraction read=25P+25P=45P\text{Total fraction read} = \frac{2}{5} P + \frac{2}{5} P = \frac{4}{5} P
  5. Calculate the fraction of pages remaining after Tuesday.

    Fraction remaining=P−45P=(1−45)P=15P\text{Fraction remaining} = P - \frac{4}{5} P = \left(1 - \frac{4}{5}\right) P = \frac{1}{5} P
  6. Use the given number of remaining pages to find the total number of pages.

    We are told that 11 pages are remaining.

    15P=11\frac{1}{5} P = 11

    To find PP, multiply both sides by 5:

    P=11×5P = 11 \times 5 P=55P = 55

    There are 55\boxed{55} pages in the book.
