Answer:

First you must convert time to the same units.

8pages/15min= 32pages/1 hr

now you can clearly see the ratio

Amy: 16/hr

Sheldon: 32/hr

We can see that Sheldon reads twice as fast as Amy.

This should be a good starting point, sorry I don't have much time to finish this question. Hope this helps good luck!
