Jimmy reads 7 pages per minute. Carlo reads 5 pages per minute.
Jimmy reads 4 pages per minute. Carlo reads 6 pages per minute.
Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute. Carlo reads 7 pages per minute.
Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute. Carlo reads 8 pages per minute.
To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the number of pages read by the number of minutes it takes to read them.
For Jimmy, we divide 48 pages by 8 minutes:
48/8 = 6
For Carlo, we divide 42 pages by 6 minutes:
42/6 = 7
Therefore, Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute and Carlo reads 7 pages per minute.
The correct answer is: Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute. Carlo reads 7 pages per minute.
