Question

Luke can read 4 3/4 pages in 15 minutes sarah can read 1 1/2 pages in 4 minutes in 2 hours, who has read more how many more pages did one read than the other

Answer 1

We have been given that

Luke can read 4 3/4 pages in 15 minutes.

Hence in 1 minute Luke can read 19/60 pages.

Sarah can read 1 1/2 pages in 4 minutes.

Hence, in 1 minute Sarah can read 3/8 pages.

Now, let us find how many pages they can read in 2 hours = 120 minutes.

In 2 hours Luke can read
`(19)/(60) \cdot 120 = 38` pages.

In 2 hours Sarah can read
`(3)/(8) \cdot  120 = 45` pages.

The difference in the number of pages is 45 - 38 = 7 pages.

Therefore, Sarah can read 7 more pages than Luke in 2 hours.
