Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
None of the options provided are correct. The reading rate for Student 1 is not given, so we cannot compare the reading rates of the two students.
To determine which student reads faster and by how much, we need to compare their reading rates. The reading rate can be calculated by dividing the number of pages read by the number of hours spent reading.
For Student 1, we have a graph that displays the reading rate. Unfortunately, the graph is not provided, so we cannot determine the reading rate for Student 1 at this time.
However, we do have the reading rate for Student 2 in the table. Let's calculate the reading rate for Student 2 using the information given:
- In 2 hours, Student 2 reads 30 pages. Therefore, the reading rate is 30 pages / 2 hours = 15 pages per hour.
- In 3 hours, Student 2 reads 45 pages. Therefore, the reading rate is 45 pages / 3 hours = 15 pages per hour.
- In 4 hours, Student 2 reads 600 pages. Therefore, the reading rate is 600 pages / 4 hours = 150 pages per hour.
Now that we have the reading rates for both students, we can determine which student reads faster. Comparing the reading rates:
- Student 2 reads at a rate of 15 pages per hour.
- Since we do not have the reading rate for Student 1, we cannot compare it to Student 2.
Therefore, based on the information given, we cannot determine which student reads faster and by how much.
To determine which student reads faster, we can compare their reading rates.
For Student 1, we can refer to the graph, but we don't have the necessary information to determine their reading rate.
For Student 2, we can look at the table. The reading rate for Student 2 can be calculated by dividing the number of pages by the number of hours:
Reading rate for Student 2 = Total pages / Total hours = 600 pages / 4 hours = 150 pages per hour
Now, we can compare the reading rates:
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 150 - ? (we don't have the reading rate for Student 1)
Since we don't have the reading rate for Student 1, we cannot determine how much faster Student 2 reads. Therefore, none of the provided options is the correct answer.
