3/28

Step-by-step explanation:

James read an equal number of pages of his book each night for 8 nights to prepare for his upcoming exam.

The total fraction of the book he read in 8 nights = 6/7

Hence,

8 nights = 6/7

1 night = x

Cross Multiply

8x = 6/7 × 1

x = 6/7 ÷ 8

x = 6/7 × 1/8

x = 3/28

Therefore, every night, the fraction of the book he has read is 3/28
