Answer:


(1)/(6)

Explanation:

We have that Monica has read
(5)/(6) of a book.

Also, she read the same number of pages for 5 days.

This gives us that,

Monica read
(5)/(6) of the book in 5 days.

So, she read
(5/6)/(5) of the book in 1 day.

i.e. She read
(1)/(6) of the book in 1 day.

Hence, Monica reads
(1)/(6) of the book each day.
