Question

Jack reads 40 pages per hour. Dave reads at the rate of 3/5 of a pages per minute. Who reads faster? By how many pages per hour faster?

Answer 1

Jack reads 4 pages per hour faster than Dave

Explanation:

Dave's reading rate is 3/5 of a page per minute. To convert this to pages per hour, we can multiply by the number of minutes in an hour (60):

(3/5) pages per minute × 60 minutes per hour = 36 pages per hour

40 pages per hour - 36 pages per hour = 4 pages per hour

So, Jack reads 4 pages per hour faster than Dave.
