Marneisha read 14% of his 68-page book
Aleisha read 10% of her 72-page book.

Who can read the greatest number of pages in a day?

Answer 1

z = 56 × 15%
= 8/2/5

k = 64 × 12%
= 7/17/25

m = 68 × 14%
= 9/13/25

a = 72 × 10%
= 7/1/5

Marneisha was the greatest number of pages in a day

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

⇒Number of Pages Read by Zev of his 56 Page book in a day=15 %

Total number of pages read by Zev in a day

`=(15)/(100) * 56\\\\=(840)/(100)\\\\=8.40`

= Approximately 8 Pages

⇒Number of Pages Read by Kelly of his 64 Page book in a day=12 %

Total number of pages read by Kelly in a day

`=(12)/(100) * 64\\\\=(768)/(100)\\\\=7.68`

= Approximately 7 Pages

⇒Number of Pages Read by Marneisha of his 68 Page book in a day=14 %

Total number of pages read by Marneisha in a day

`=(14)/(100) * 68\\\\=(952)/(100)\\\\=9.52`

= Approximately 9 Pages

⇒Number of Pages Read by Aleisha of his 72 Page book in a day=10 %

Total number of pages read by Aleisha in a day

`=(10)/(100) * 72\\\\=(720)/(100)\\\\=7.20`

= Approximately 7 Pages

⇒Marneisha Read greatest number of pages in a day.
