Answer:

Andrew has been in the book club for 18 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of books already read by Andrew = 13 books

He reads 1 book each month after joining the book club.

Number of books he has read after joining the club = 31 books

Number of books read after joining the Club

=  Total books Read  - Books read beforehand

=  31 books   -  13 books

= 18 books

So, the number of books Andrew read within the club = 18 books

Now, as Andrew read 1 book per month

⇒ Andrew reads 18 books in   18 x ( 1 Month)  = 18 Months

Hence,  Andrew has been in the book club for 18 months.
