Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
To determine which student reads faster, we can compare their reading rates in terms of pages per hour.
From the given information:
Student 1's reading rate is displayed on the graph.
Student 2's reading rate is given in the table.
Comparing the reading rates, we can see that the reading rate for Student 2 is higher than that of Student 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1, by 15 pages per hour.
To determine which student reads faster and by how much, we need to compare their reading rates. The reading rate is calculated by dividing the number of pages read by the number of hours spent reading.
For Student 1, we are given the reading rate in the graph, but for Student 2, we need to calculate it based on the table provided.
For Student 1, we can determine their reading rate as follows:
Reading rate for Student 1 = Number of Pages Read / Number of Hours Spent Reading
From the graph, we can see that Student 1 reads 120 pages in 2 hours. Therefore, their reading rate is:
Reading rate for Student 1 = 120 pages / 2 hours = 60 pages per hour
For Student 2, we can calculate their reading rate using the information in the table. We are given three pairs of values for hours and pages, but we can only determine the reading rate by comparing the first two pairs. Let's calculate it:
Reading rate for Student 2 = Number of Pages Read / Number of Hours Spent Reading
For the first pair (2 hours, 30 pages):
Reading rate = 30 pages / 2 hours = 15 pages per hour
For the second pair (3 hours, 45 pages):
Reading rate = 45 pages / 3 hours = 15 pages per hour
Since the reading rate is the same for both pairs, we can conclude that the reading rate for Student 2 is 15 pages per hour.
Now that we have the reading rates for both students, we can compare them to determine who reads faster. From the calculations above, we find that Student 1 reads at a rate of 60 pages per hour, while Student 2 reads at a rate of 15 pages per hour.
Comparing the two reading rates, we can see that Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 45 pages per hour (60 pages/hour - 15 pages/hour = 45 pages/hour).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 45 pages per hour.
