This year, the idea of doing the math has surfaced multiple times. There is one problem that stands out.
I have 3 books on a bookshelf, and they are part of a 3-volume set, all the same size. Each book is 2 inches thick in the pages, and have a hard cover that is 1/8 of an inch thick. A bookworm eats through the books from page 1 of the first book to the last page of the last book. How many inches of book did the bookworm eat?
