Question

Ebony read 6 3/4 pages of a book in 9 minutes, what is her average reading rate in pages per minute?

Answer 1

3/4 of a page per minute

Explanation:

Convert `6 3/4` pages into an improper fraction, `27/4` pages, then divide this by 9 minutes to get the number of pages per minute, which is the same as multiplying by `1/9`. This gives you `27/36`, which reduces to `3/4`.
