Charlotte reads 8 1/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes. What is her average reading rate in pages per minute?

1 answer:

8 0

5/6 pages of a book in a minute!
8 1/3= 25/3= amount in 10 minutes
25/3 x 1/10=25/30=5/6
I got 1/10 when I did reciprocal(meaning flip the number over, the numerator goes on the bottom, and the denominator goes on the top)
10x 1/10= 1

Negative one fourths times negative six elevenths

Ipatiy [6.2K]

You multiply fractions simply by multiplying numerators and denominators with each other:

$-\dfrac{1}{4} \times \left(-\dfrac{6}{11}\right) = \dfrac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 11} = \dfrac{6}{44} = \dfrac{3}{22}$

Answer:
