Pam read 126 pages of her summer reading bookin 3 hours. Zac read a180 pages of his summer reading book in 4 hours. If they continue to read at the same speeds, will they both finish the 215 page book after 5 total hours of reading?

Sagot :

Answer:

Zac will finish, Pam won’t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s have the individual reading speeds

The individual reading speeds are the number of pages divided by hours taken

For Pam; 126/3 = 42 pages per hour

For Zac; 180/4 = 45 pages per hour

In five hours, Zac would read; 45 * 5 = 225 pages

In five hours, Pam would read 42 * 5 = 210 pages
