Responses
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Based on the information provided, we can determine the reading rates for both students.
For Student 1, we can see from the graph that at 2 hours, the reading rate is 20 pages per hour. At 3 hours, it is 30 pages per hour. At 4 hours, it is 40 pages per hour.
For Student 2, according to the table, at 2 hours, the reading rate is 30 pages per hour. At 3 hours, it is 45 pages per hour. At 4 hours, it is 600 pages per hour.
From this, we can see that Student 2 reads faster than Student 1. At 2 hours, Student 2 reads 10 pages more than Student 1. At 3 hours, Student 2 reads 15 pages more than Student 1. At 4 hours, Student 2 reads 560 pages more than Student 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
