Answer:
Hence the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages when they read a combined of 36 pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
The table that can be formed by the rate at which they study the number of pages of a book is:
Fred Lonnie total
5 4 9
10 8 18
15 12 27
20 16 36
That means when they read a combined of 36 pages.
Then the number of pages read by Fred is 20 pages.
and the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages.
(
Also it could be done as :
Let Fred reads 'x' pages.
so, the number of pages read by Lonnie is: (4/5)x
Hence,
x+(4/5)x=36
on solving this linear equation we have:
x=20
and (4/5)x=16
)
Hence the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages when they read a combined of 36 pages.
