Question

If Joseph can read 4 books in 12 days, how many books does he read each day?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the number of books and divide by the days

4/12 = 1/3

He can read 1/3 of a book each day

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3 or 0.3333... of a book each day

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many books Joseph can read in a day, we would take how many books he can read and the amount of days it would take.

4 / 12 = 0.3333...

To find the answer in fraction form, we would just reduce 4 / 12 by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 4.

4 / 4 = 1

12 / 4 = 3

4 / 12 = 1 / 3
