Sorry I never knew this. Should I edit my answer ?

Question:

Box A contains 56 books.
Box B contains 75 books

Ling has read 5/7 of the books in box A.
Ling has also read the same number of books in box B.

Work out the fraction of the books in box B that ling has read.
Give your answer as a fraction in its lowest form.

Could someone also explain the process. Thank you

Here's my working out that Matters keeps asking for..
I tried working it out but cannot seem to understand no matter what and my exams are week so would really appreciate help


5/7 of 56=40

5/7 of 75=53

75/7=10.71

So 10.71

The first part is right. Read the question again. What the questions says is for you to calculate the number of book read in box 1 ( which you have done). It says, he read the same number of book in box 2 as well. So you use answer from 1 to divide by the number of book in box 2. Which will tell you the percentage of books reads in box 2. Hope this helps
