Question

Jai read 52 pages in 2 2/3 hours. At what rate, in pages per hour, did he read?

Answer 1

To calculate the rate at which Jai read in pages per hour, we can use the formula:

Rate = Total pages read / Total time taken

Rate = 52 pages / 2 2/3 hours
Rate = 52 pages / (8/3) hours
Rate = 52 pages * 3/8 hours
Rate = 19.5 pages per hour

Therefore, Jai read at a rate of 19.5 pages per hour.
