Answer:
Stew reads at a faster rate (265 words per minute)
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which student reads faster, compare how many words each student's reads in 1 minute.
==>The table given for Stew shows that Stew reads 795 in 3 minutes.
Let x be the number of words Stew reads in 1 minute. Thus,
795 words => 3 mins
x words => 1 min
Cross multiply
795*1 = x*3
795 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3 to find x
795/3 = x
265 = x
Stew reads 265 words per minute.
==>The graph given for Connie shows that Connie reads 200 words per minute.
==>Felicia reads 260 words per minute.
Comparing the number if words each student reads per minute, Stew reads more words per minute, which makes Stew the fastest reader.
Therefore, Stew reads at a faster rate.
