Answer:

70 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

the whole book= 7/7

He read 5/7    So 2/7 are left     28 pages = 2/7

CROSS MULTIPLICATION

x = the whole book (7/7)

2/7------------28

7/7------------x                                  (7/7)=1

(7/7) x28  =  ( 2/7)x

   1x28  =  (2/7)x

DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2/7  = MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY (7/2)

(7/2)28 = x

98 = x   (The whole book is 98 pages

98-28 = 70

70= (5/7) of the book

28= (2/7) of the book
