Answer 1

Answer: is aibert

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hence, Albert reads the maximum number of pages in a day.

Explanation:

• Albert read 15% of his 56-page book.

i.e. he reads 15% of 56 pages which is calculated as:

`15\%* 56\\\\=(15)/(100)* 56\\\\=8.4pages`

• Keith read 12% of his 64-page book.

i.e. she reads 12% of 64 page book.

So, the number of pages she reads is calculated as:

`12\%* 64\\\\=(12)/(100)* 64\\\\=7.68pages`

• Rita read 16% of her 42-page book.

i.e she reads 16% of 42 pages.

So, the number of pages she reads is calculated as:

`16\%* 42\\\\\\=(16)/(100)* 42\\\\\\=6.72pages`

• Bess read 10% of her 72-page book.

i.e. he reads 10% of 72 pages.

So, the number of pages he read is calculated as:

`10\%* 72\\\\=(10)/(100)* 72\\\\=7.2pages`

Hence, the greatest number of pages read in a day is by:

Albert.
