Would the length of a book be measured in decimeters?
No. It would be measured in pages
You begin reading a book 240 pages long If you read half of the remaining book each day how long would it take you to finish the book?
Theoretically forever, since there are an infinity of halves mathematically. In actuality though, with words it gets ridiculous, because it's pointless to read half of a sentence, and you really can't read half of a word, or half of a letter, so eventually you will read the whole thing. Looking at the timeline below, if you really, really cared about going down by a half each time, you might be able to make it possibly two weeks. But if it is a good book, you are going to want to finish it much more quickly... and even if you are trying to prove a point, once you start hitting the fraction-of-a-page days starting with day 8, it gets pretty ridiculous from there. 1st day: read 120 pages -- Total 120 2nd day: read 60 pages -- Total 180 3rd day: read 30 pages -- Total 210 4th day: read 15 pages -- Total 225 5th day: read 7.5 pages -- Total 232.5 6th day: read 3.75 pages -- Total 236.25 7th day: read 1.875 pages -- Total 238.125 8th day: read .9375 pages -- Total 239.0625 9th day: read .46874 pages -- Total 239.53124 10th day: read .23437 pages -- Total 239.76561 11th day: read .117185 pages -- Total 239.882795 12th day: read .0585925 pages -- Total 239.9413875 13th day: read .02929625 pages -- Total 239.97068375 14th day: read .014648125 pages -- Total 239.985331875 15th day: read .0073240625 pages -- Total 239.9926559375 At this point, no matter how long or complex the page in an actual book, you are getting into fractured sentences and words, and in actual reading you are done. So while the mathematical theory says this continues forever, even the most dedicated actual person reading could not continue the pointless exercise any further.
John read 80 pages of a 240 page book last week he read 60 pages this week what fraction of the book did he read last week did he read this week what fraction has he still to read?
John read 80 pages out of 240 pages last week, which is 80/240 or 1/3 of the book. This week, he read 60 pages out of 240 pages, which is 60/240 or 1/4 of the book. Therefore, he has read a total of 1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12 of the book. To find out what fraction he still has to read, subtract 7/12 from 1 (the whole book), which equals 5/12. So, John still has 5/12 of the book left to read.
