For this question, all you have to do is 3/4 times 8. To do this, you have to turn 8 into a fraction. That would then be 8/1. Then you can multiply; 3/4 times 8/1. You multiply across the top and across the bottom. Your final answer would be 24/4. This can be simplified to 6. Edward read 6 books in 8 weeks
