The answer is .45 or 9/20 pages per minute.

Answer:

Sean reads 0.47 pages per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean reads [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pages in [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] minutes.

First we convert these fractions to decimal form.

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  pages = 1.5 pages

[tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] minutes = 3.20 minutes

Sean reads in 3.20 minutes = 1.5 pages

Sean reads in 1 minute = [tex]\frac{1.5}{3.20}[/tex] = 0.46875 ≈ 0.47 pages

Sean reads 0.47 pages per minute.
