Answer:

5/6 page/ minute

Explanation:

Start with 8 1/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes; reduce this:

Multiply both quantities 8 1/3 pages and 10 minutes by 1/10, obtaining

(1/10)(25/3) pages per 1 minute, or

5/6 page/minute.

Check: Does (5/6 page/minute)*10 minutes = 8 1/3 pages?

Does 50/6 = 25/3? Yes. Does 25/3 = 8 1/3 pages? Yes.
