Julian has to read 4 articles for school. he has 8 nights to read them. he decides to read the same number of articles each night.
a. how many articles will he have to read per night?
b. what fraction of the reading assignment will he read each night?

a. He will have to read half an article per night

b. Fraction of the reading assignment read each night =

Explanation:

Part a:

We are given that:

number of articles to read = 4 articles

number of nights = 8 nights

To get the number of articles that he should read per night, we will simply divide the the number of articles by the number of nights

Therefore:

number of articles to read per night = articles per night

Part b:

Now, we know that he will read half an article each night from a total of 4 articles

To get the fraction of the reading assignment read each night, we will divide the number of articles read each night by the total number of assignments

Therefore:

Fraction of the reading assignment read each night =

Hope this helps :)
