Answer 1

Answer:

120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets focus on Emilia.

Emilia

80 min -> 24 pages

1 min -> 0.3 pages

Now, Lets focus on Jamie.

Jamie

30 min -> 18 pages

1 min -> 0.6 pages

Both of them

1 min -> 0.3+0.6=0.9 pages

x min-> 108 pages

x=108/0.9 = 120

Thus, the answer is 120 minutes
