    2/15

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that she have already read one-third of the book.

    The fraction f of the book that will remain is;

    f = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

    Then she finishes the book by reading the same amount each night for 5 nights

    That implies she reads the remaining 2/3 of the book at equal rates for 5 nights.

    Let x represent the fraction rate read per night;

    5x = 2/3

    Divide both sides by 5

    x = 2/3 * 1/5

    x = 2/15

    Therefore, she reads 2/15 of the book every night for 5 nights.
