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

5/6 page/ minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 8 1/3 pages of a book in 10 minutes; reduce this:

Multiply both quantities 8 1/3 pages and 10 minutes by 1/10, obtaining

(1/10)(25/3) pages per 1 minute, or

5/6 page/minute.

Check:  Does (5/6 page/minute)*10 minutes = 8 1/3 pages?

              Does 50/6 = 25/3?  Yes.  Does 25/3 = 8 1/3 pages?  Yes.

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
