not going to lie, i was a little confused in the wording for this problem but im guessing the problem is asking for how much books is she reading in one month? ( im sorry if i read that wrong!! )

answer:

1 1/2 books

Explanation:

all you really need to do is dividing for this whole problem ( and you going to need to add/multiply if you wanted to double check )

first lets divide 12 and 8 by 4

12/4

= 3 books

8/4

= 2 months

now we just need to divide each problem by 2

3/2

= 1.5 or 1 1/2 books

2/2

= 1 month

because we dont need to round 1.5 to the nearest whole number, our answer is 1.5 books in 1 month

hope this helps you! if you need anymore help just ask me :)
