Monica reads 7 1/2 pages of a mystery book in 9 minutes. What is her average rate in pages per minute

Respuesta :

vgirl270

the answer is the number of pages divided by the number of minutes.

7.5/9=0.833333, so she reads on average 0.83 pages per minute

Divide 7 1/2 by 9

Write 7 1/2 as 15/2 divided by 9

Which goes to 15/2 (times) • 9/1

Cross simplify the 15 an 9 by 3

Your equation is now 5/2 • (times) 1/9

Which equals 5/6

ANSWER~ Monica can read 5/6 of a page a minute.
