before lunch time abigal and teresa each read some pages from different books abigal read 5 or one fifth of the pages in her book teresa read 6 or one sixth of the pages in her book whose had more pages how many more pages
abigal had 25 pages
terest had 36 pages
To compare the number of pages that Abigail and Teresa read before lunch, we need to find out the total number of pages in each of their books.
Abigail read one-fifth of the pages in her book, while Teresa read one-sixth of the pages in her book. Let's assume the number of pages in Abigail's book is "a" and the number of pages in Teresa's book is "t".
From the given information, we can set up the following equations:
Abigail's pages: 5 = (1/5) * a
Teresa's pages: 6 = (1/6) * t
To find the total number of pages in each book, we can rearrange the equations:
a = 5 * 5 = 25 pages (Abigail's book)
t = 6 * 6 = 36 pages (Teresa's book)
Therefore, Abigail's book has 25 pages and Teresa's book has 36 pages.
To determine who had more pages, we simply subtract the number of pages in Abigail's book from the number of pages in Teresa's book:
36 - 25 = 11
Therefore, Teresa had 11 more pages in her book than Abigail.
