Question

Ellen just finished a new book about a time-traveling magician. She read the same amount every day and completed the book in just 10 days! The book had 85 pages.

How many pages did Ellen read each day?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.

Answer 1

`8 (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given,

No. of days taken to read the whole book = 10

No. of pages in the book = 85

Therefore,

Pages of the book read everyday = 85/10

`= 8 (5)/(10) = 8 (1)/(2) (ans)`
