Answer:
<u>1. Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>
<u>2. Nora and Lila be on the page 180.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's check the information given to resolve the question:
Current page of the novel that Nora is reading now = 128
Pages per day Nora reads = 8
Current page of the novel that Lila is reading now = 102
Pages per day Lila reads = 12
Days ahead for Nora and Lila will be on the same page = x
2. After how many days of reading will Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book?
128 + 8x = 102 + 12x
8x - 12x = 102 - 128 (Subtracting 12x and 128 at both sides)
-4x = -26
x = 6.5
<u>Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>
<u>3.</u> What page will they be on?
Nora : 128 + 8 (6.5) = 128 + 52 = 180
Lila : 102 + 12 (6.5) = 102 + 78 = 180
<u>Nora and Lila be on the page 180</u>
