Question

if one person reads 278 pages in 7-weeks and another person reads 31 pages each week how many more pages does the first person reads than the second person 10,70,0,20

Answer 1

First person reads 9 pages more than other person in one week

Solution:

Given that,

One person reads 278 pages in 7-weeks

Therefore, 7 weeks = 278 pages

To find number of pages read in 1 week, divide 278 by 7

$\text{Number of pages in 1 week } = \frac{278}{7} = 39.71$

So one person reads approximately 40 pages in 1 week

Another person reads 31 pages each week

How many more pages does the first person reads than the second person

So we need to find the difference between them

Difference = 40 - 31 = 9

Thus one person reads 9 pages more than other person in one week
