hours. At what rate, in pages per hour, did he read?

Answer 1

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

Rate = Total pages read / Total hours spent reading

Rate = 5252 / (2 2/3)

First, convert 2 2/3 to an improper fraction:
2 2/3 = 8/3

Now, divide 5252 by 8/3:
Rate = 5252 / (8/3)
Rate = 5252 * (3/8)
Rate = 1977

Therefore, Jai read at a rate of 1977 pages per hour.
