Answer 1

Given:

Hannah read 8 books in 4 months and she reads at a constant rate.

Required:

We need to find the number of books Hannah read each month.

Explanation:

$The\text{ number of books Hannah read each month = }\frac{The\text{ total number of books she read}}{The\text{ total number of months that takes to read the books}}$

Substitute the total number of books she read =8 and the total number of months that takes to read books =4 in the equation.

$The\text{ number of books Hannah read each month = }\frac{8}{4}$

$The\text{ number of books Hannah read each month = 2}$

Final answer:

$The\text{ number of books Hannah read each month = 2}$
