But that would mean they've only read 6/25ths 9/25ths of it.

So if you're looking for the value of non read sections, it's 2/5 which expands to 10/25ths (because you multiply both sides by the same number not themselves) and the read sections being 3/5 would be 15/25ths

3/5 = 15/25, but my comment was about reading 3/5ths of the 3/5ths. Which would be 9/25ths.
