Well, the first important step is to give some attention to understanding what the question is. In this case, the question probably had something to do with finding a "unit rate". That means how many pages in each minute.
To find the number of "pages per minute", just divide the (number of pages) by the (number of minutes).
If you'd rather have that answer in the form of a decimal instead of a fraction, then you could either take a pencil and divide 2 by 3 to get the decimal, or else take your calculator and punch in ' 2 ' ' ÷ ' ' 3 ' ' = ' .

if you can get 8 oranges for 10.40 then divide 10.40 by 8. you can get each orange for 1.3. you need to know how many oranges you can get for 33.8 so divide that by 1.3 and you get 26
