Given

Mike:

Andy:

Required

Is Andy correct?

First, we need to calculate the fraction of book read by Mike.

Take LCM

Convert to decimal

Next, we perform the same calcuation for Andy

Take LCM

Convert to decimal

Andy's claim that he read more of the book is incorrect because 0.833 (for Mike) is greater than 0.70 (for Andy)

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
