Question

If I read 52 pages in 2 hrs and Tim reads 1/4 more in 2 and1/2 hr. who read faster?

Answer 1

They read at the same speed
If we split the time where you read into half hour intervals we would have
13 pages per 30 minutes
and since $\frac{1}{4}$* 52= 13 and the time added is 30 minutes we know that You and Tim read at the same speed. 

Answer 2

So Tim read 13 pages =1/4 of 52 pages in (2 and 1/2 hr) - (2hrs) = 1/2 hr
So Tim will read 26 pages in 1 hr and  that means Tim read 52 pages in 2 hrs, the same with You! The answer its that bouth read in the same time.
