Answer: 1 5/8 or 13/8. They are the same.

Step-by-step explanation to find the amount of books she reads in 4 1/3 says, first you need to find how much she reads in 1 day.

3/4 divided by 2 = 3/4 x 1/2=3/8.

Now you need to multiply 3/8 by 4 1/3 to find how many books she can reed in a day. 4 1/3= 13/3. 13/3 x 3/8= 39/24 = 13/8 = 1 5/8
