Answer 1

Given:

a.) Hannah reads 5/8 page in 2/3 minute.

To be able to determine the unit rate we divide the number of pages Hannah ready by the time she took to read it.

We get,

$\text{ }\frac{5}{8}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{2}{3}$

In dividing fractions, reciprocate the divisor and multiply it to the dividend.

We get,

$\text{ }\frac{5}{8}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{2}{3}\text{ = }\frac{5}{8}\text{ x }\frac{3}{2}$$=\frac{5}{8}\text{ x }\frac{3}{2}$

In multiplying fractions, we just directly multiply the numerator by other numerators and the denominator by the other denominators.

$\frac{5}{8}\text{ x }\frac{3}{2}\text{ = }\frac{5\text{ x 3}}{8\text{ x 2}}$$\text{ = }\frac{15}{16}$

Therefore, the unit rate is 15/16 pages per minute.
