    He had read 12 books.

    Explanation:

    Let us first rewrite the main information from the task.

    He planned to read 15 books.

    He had read 4/5 so far.

    How many books is that?

    This basically means that we have to calculate how much is 4/5 of 15.

    The easiest way to do this is to multiply 4/5 and 15.

    Let's mark with x the number of the books he had read:

    x = 4/5 • 15

    x = 12

    We cat think of this as splitting 15 into five equal parts, and then taking four of those parts. Each part will be 15 / 5 = 3, so four parts will be 4 • 3 = 12.
