Answer 1

The answer is .45 or 9/20 pages per minute.

Answer 2

Sean reads 0.47 pages per minute.

Explanation:

Sean reads
`1(1)/(2)` pages in
`3(1)/(3)` minutes.

First we convert these fractions to decimal form.

`1(1)/(2)` pages = 1.5 pages

`3(1)/(3)` minutes = 3.20 minutes

Sean reads in 3.20 minutes = 1.5 pages

Sean reads in 1 minute =
`(1.5)/(3.20)` = 0.46875 ≈ 0.47 pages

Sean reads 0.47 pages per minute.
