Step 4: Remaining pages after day two
After day two, the number of pages left is:
Final Answer:

Would you like a more detailed explanation of any step? Or perhaps a related question?
- How many pages did Juma read in total by the end of day two?
- What fraction of the book did Juma read by the end of day two?
- If Juma had read the same amount each day, how many pages would he have read by day two?
- How much of the book is left after day two compared to day one?
- If Juma reads of the remainder on day three, how many pages will be left after day three?
Tip: When working with fractions of quantities, always subtract the read amount from the total to find the remainder.
