1. Problem Description

The problem states that Mayu read $\frac{3}{8}$ of a 160-page book. The question asks how many pages Mayu read.

2. Solution Steps

To find the number of pages Mayu read, we need to calculate $\frac{3}{8}$ of

1

6

0. This means we need to multiply 160 by $\frac{3}{8}$.

We can write this as:

$160 \times \frac{3}{8}$

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, we can write the whole number as a fraction with a denominator of 1:

$\frac{160}{1} \times \frac{3}{8}$

Then we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

$\frac{160 \times 3}{1 \times 8}$

Before performing the multiplication, we can simplify by dividing 160 and 8 by their greatest common divisor, which is

8. $\frac{160}{8} = 20$

So, we have:

$\frac{20 \times 3}{1 \times 1}$

Then, we calculate the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{60}{1}$

This simplifies to

6

0.
