Answer: 14 2/5 books per year
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a middle school student reads 48 books in 31/3 years. The students reading rate in books per year will be calculated as:
= Total books read / Number of years
= 48 ÷ 3 1/3
= 48 ÷ 10/3
= 48 × 3/10
= 144/10
= 14 2/5 books per year
