Question

Charlotte reads 8 1/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes. What is her average reading rate in pages per minute?

Answer 1

`8(1)/(3) = (25)/(3)`

25/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes

Multiply both numbers by the reciprocal of 10, which is 1/10


`(25)/(3) *(1)/(10) = (25)/(30)=(5)/(6)`


`10*(1)/(10)= 1`

So, Charlotte reads 5/6 pages of a book in 1 minute.
