Short Answer:

Ruby's rate if reading the books is:

2 months per book.

Long Answer:

If you look at it this way, two months per book means that by the time 14 months come you should have 7 books read.

Easy check to verify:

7 (books) X( mutltiply) 2(# of books) = 14 (total of months) - This shows that the number lead back to the original numbers

Hope this helps :)
