Aileen can read 1.5 pages for every page her friend can read. Aileen's mom was very excited and she said to Aileen: "So, if your friend reads 20 pages, you can read 25 in the same time period!" Is Aileen's mom correct?

No, because here mom is adding in 3.5 more pages when it say only 1.5. So she'll be able to read 30 pages because 1.5 and 20 pages of her friends is 30. So your answer is that her mom is wrong.

I hope this helped! I gave an explanation and an answer. You're Welcome!
