Options

B. 940
C. 740
D. 1040

Answer

To find the total number of pages Supriya read on the first and second day, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the number of pages read on the first day.
Supriya reads \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the book on the first day. The total number of pages in the book is 1440.

\[ \text{Pages read on the first day} = \frac{1}{3} \times 1440 \]

### Step 2: Perform the multiplication.
To calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \times 1440 \):

\[ \frac{1}{3} \times 1440 = \frac{1440}{3} = 480 \]

So, Supriya read 480 pages on the first day.

### Step 3: Calculate the number of pages read on the second day.
Supriya reads \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the book on the second day.

\[ \text{Pages read on the second day} = \frac{1}{4} \times 1440 \]

### Step 4: Perform the multiplication.
To calculate \( \frac{1}{4} \times 1440 \):

\[ \frac{1}{4} \times 1440 = \frac{1440}{4} = 360 \]

So, Supriya read 360 pages on the second day.

### Step 5: Calculate the total number of pages read.
Now, we add the pages read on both days:

\[ \text{Total pages read} = \text{Pages read on the first day} + \text{Pages read on the second day} \]

\[ \text{Total pages read} = 480 + 360 \]

### Step 6: Perform the addition.
\[ 480 + 360 = 840 \]

Thus, the total number of pages Supriya read on the first and second day is **840 pages**.
