Please select the correct option.

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, divide the amount read by the time taken. In this case, Hannah reads 5/8 page in 2/3 minute. Divide 5/8 by 2/3 to get (5/8)/(2/3), which simplifies to 15/16. Therefore, the unit rate for Hannah's reading is 15/16 pages per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate, divide the amount read by the time taken. In this case, Hannah reads 5/8 page in 2/3 minute. Divide 5/8 by 2/3 to get (5/8)/(2/3).

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (5/8)/(2/3) = (5/8) x (3/2) = (5/8) x (3/2) = (15/16).

Therefore, the unit rate for Hannah's reading is 15/16 pages per minute. The correct option is A) 15/16 pages per minute.
