the reading rate for student 1 is displayed in the graph and the reading rate for student 2 is displayed in the table. which student reads faster and by how much?
Student 1 graph data: 1 hour, 10 pages. 2 hours 20 pages. 3 hours 30 pages.
student 2 table data: 2 hours: 30 pages. 3 hours 45 pages.
To compare the reading rates of Student 1 and Student 2, we can calculate their average reading rates per hour.
For Student 1:
1 hour = 10 pages
2 hours = 20 pages
3 hours = 30 pages
Average reading rate per hour for Student 1:
(30 pages - 10 pages) / (3 hours - 1 hour) = 20 pages / 2 hours = 10 pages per hour
For Student 2:
2 hours = 30 pages
3 hours = 45 pages
Average reading rate per hour for Student 2:
(45 pages - 30 pages) / (3 hours - 2 hours) = 15 pages / 1 hour = 15 pages per hour
Therefore, Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
