Question

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?

Answer 1

no, his mom would not be correct if he can read 1.5 pages for every 1 his friend reads then he could read 10 more pages than his friend because .5*20=10 and 20+10=30Pages
