Answer 1

Joel read the most out of the group.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

It is given that,

⇒ Armando read 15% of his 46-page book.

Number of pages read by Armando in a day

`=(15)/(100) * 46\\\\=(690)/(100)\\\\=6.9`

⇒ Billy read 11% of his 72-page book.

Number of pages read by Billy in a day

`=(11)/(100) * 72\\\\=(792)/(100)\\\\=7.92`

⇒ Robert read 12% of his 68-page book.

Number of pages read by Robert in a day

`=(12)/(100) * 68\\\\=(816)/(100)\\\\=8.16`

⇒ Joel read 14% of his 69-page book.

Number of pages read by Joel in a day

`=(14)/(100) * 69\\\\=(966)/(100)\\\\=9.66`

⇒ Joel read the greatest number of pages in a day.
