Jayson reads the first 48 pages of a 480-page book in 3 days. Marcus reads the first 50 pages of a 400-page book in 4 days. Nina
reads the first 120 pages of a 600-page book in 5 days. If they continue to read at these rates, who will finish first?
1 answer:
Answer:
Nina will finish first.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's c<u>alculate how many pages each person reads in one day</u>:
- Jayson ⇒ 48 pages / 3 days = 16 pages/day
- Marcus ⇒ 50 pages / 4 days = 12.5 pages/day
- Nina ⇒ 120 pages / 5 days = 24 pages/day
Then we <u>divide the number of pages of each book by reading speed of the respective person</u>:
- Jayson ⇒ 480 pages ÷ 16 pages/day = 30 days
- Marcus ⇒ 400 pages ÷ 12.5 pages/day = 32 days
- Nina ⇒ 600 pages ÷ 24 pages/day = 25 days
Thus Nina will take the shortest time finishing her book.
