Why would I divide 30 by 30, or am I just reading what you said differently than what you meant?

Please compute 20books/30 and 30 days/30 and let me know what you get.

20/30 = 2/3 or 0.66666666666 30/30 = 1

No, sorry. 20/30 is 2/3! I asked what (20 books)/30 equals and what (30 days/30) equals. Not 30/30.

20 books/30 = 2/3 books; 30 days/30 = 1 day - I'm sorry if I keep getting these incorrect; I am just kinda confused

No, you are not confused! You got (2/3) books in 1 day. That is the answer!
