To find out how many pages Aaden reads in an hour, we first need to determine his reading rate.
Aaden read 63 pages in \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) hours. We can convert \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) hours into an improper fraction:
\[ 1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ hours} \]
Now, we can find the reading rate (pages per hour) by dividing the total pages read by the total hours:
\[ \text{Reading rate} = \frac{63 \text{ pages}}{\frac{4}{3} \text{ hours}} \]
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
\[ \text{Reading rate} = 63 \times \frac{3}{4} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Reading rate} = \frac{63 \times 3}{4} = \frac{189}{4} = 47.25 \text{ pages per hour} \]
Therefore, if Aaden continues reading at the same rate, he will read 47.25 pages in an hour.
