Question

Question 8 :

Ila read 25 pages of a book containing 100 pages. Lalita read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same book. Who read less?

Answer 1

As per the question

Ila read 25 pages out of 100 pages.

Fraction of reading the pages $=\frac{25}{100}={\frac{1}{4}}^{th}$ part of book.

Lalita read ${\frac{2}{5}}^{th}$ part of book

Number of pages Lalita read = $\frac{2}{5}\times 100=40$

Ila read 25 pages out of 100 pages and Lalita read 40 pages out of 100.

Therefore, Ila read less.
