Answer/explanation:

  1. Nora is on page 128 and reads 8 pages per day, which means:
  • Day 1: 128 + 8 = 136
  • Day 2: 136 + 8 = 144
  • Day 3: 144 + 8 = 152
  • Day 4: 152 + 8 = 160
  • Day 5: 160 + 8 = 168
  1. Lila is on page 100 and reads 12 pages per day, which means:
  • Day 1: 100 + 12 = 112
  • Day 2: 112 + 12 = 124
  • Day 3: 124 + 12 = 136
  • Day 4: 136 + 12 = 148
  • Day 5: 148 + 12 = 160
  • Therefore, Nora and Lila will be on the same page of the book on Day 5, and they will be on page 160.
  1. So, after 5 days, Nora will be on page 168, and Lila will be on page 160.

hope this works
