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

Answer 1

To find the rate at which Jai read pages per hour, divide the total number of pages he read (5252) by the total number of hours it took him to read them (2 2/3 hours).

First, convert the mixed number 2 2/3 to an improper fraction:
2 2/3 = (3*2 + 2) / 3 = 8/3

Now, divide the total number of pages by the total number of hours:
5252 / 8/3 = 5252 * 3/8 = 656.5

Therefore, Jai read pages at a rate of approximately 656.5 pages per hour.
