Deondra read at a rate of 26 pages per hour.

Given:

- Pages read:
\(8 (2)/(3)\)

- Time:
\((1)/(3)\) hour

To find the rate in pages per hour, you can use the formula:


\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Pages Read}}{\text{Time}} \]

Substitute the given values:


\[ \text{Rate} = (8 (2)/(3))/((1)/(3)) \]

To simplify, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:


\[ \text{Rate} = ((26)/(3))/((1)/(3)) \]

Now, divide the numerators and denominators:


\[ \text{Rate} = (26)/(1) \]

So, Deondra read at a rate of 26 pages per hour.
