Let \( x \) be the total number of pages in the book. According to the information provided, you have read 117 pages, which is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the total pages in the book. We can express this relationship as the equation:
\[
\frac{1}{3}x = 117
\]
To find \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
\[
x = 117 \times 3
\]
Now calculate \( x \):
\[
x = 351
\]
So, the total number of pages in the book is 351.
\[
\frac{1}{3}x = 117
\]
To find \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
\[
x = 117 \times 3
\]
Now calculate \( x \):
\[
x = 351
\]
So, the total number of pages in the book is 351.
