Answer: D) 4/27 of the book

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say there are 54 pages to this book. I'm picking this value since 9*6 = 54.

If she read 8/9 of the total pages, then she read (8/9)*54 = 48 pages so far. This takes place over a span of 6 days, meaning she reads 48/6 = 8 pages per day.

Each day she's able to read 8 of the 54 pages, so that leads to the fraction 8/54. Divide both parts of that fraction by the GCF 2 and you'll end up with the final answer 4/27 which is choice D.

Answer:

4/27

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9 is equal to 24/27

Knowing that we take the numerator and multiply it by 6 (6 days)

4*6/27

24/27 is equal to 24/27

Hope this helps!
