Answer:

Well, lets break this down.

If you try to add 26 + 26 it would be 52, which is above 48.

So, we have to find how many books he can read in one month.

All we have to do, is divide!

14 = dividend

26 = divisor

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 26 on the left side and the dividend 14 on the right side like this:

26⟌14 Then do the rest, ill wait.

once you have a answer, that is how much he reads a month.

now multiply by 48.
