Answer:
It will take 6 minutes by Ashley and Emma to read the same amount of pages.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let in 't' minutes Ashley and Emma will read the same amount of pages.
If Ashley can read one page in a minute then she can read the number of pages in t minutes = 1×t =t
If she starts from page 1 then after time 't' she will be at the page = (t + 1)
Similarly, if Emma takes 3 minutes to read the amount of pages = 1
Then she can read amount of pages in t minutes =
If Emma starts from page 5 then after t minutes she will be at the page =
If both have read the same amount of pages then,
t = 6 minutes
Therefore, it will take 6 minutes by Ashley and Emma to read the same amount of pages.
