We are given the information that Bailey reads 2 and a half books in 3 and a third weeks.

2 and a half books can be seen as 5/2 books, just as follows


2(1)/(2)\text{ = }(4)/(2)+(1)/(2)\text{ = }(5)/(2)

On the other hand, 3 and a third weeks can be seen as 10/ weeks, just as follows:


3(1)/(3)\text{ = }(9)/(3)+(1)/(3)=\text{ }(10)/(3)

Next, we just have to use a rule of three, its as follows: "if Bailey read 5/ books in 10/3 weeks, how many books does she reads per week?"


\begin{gathered} 10/3\text{ --> 5/2} \\ 1\text{ --> x} \end{gathered}

With that, we proceed with the division:


((5)/(2))/((10)/(3))\text{ = }(15)/(20)\text{ = }(3)/(4)

That means that Bailey reads 3/4 books per week
