Question

Eric can read 3 pages in 7 minutes. Rob can read 8 pages in 14 minutes________. Response area is the faster reader because______ Response area

Answer 1

Rob.

Explanation:

If we take Eric's unit rate and multiply the denominator by two, it will be 14 minutes. Rob's denominator is also 14 minutes. This makes it easier on ourselves. If we multiply the bottom number we also have to multiply the top. So, on Eric's unit rate, we will take the 3 pages and mltiply it by 2 to get 6. 6 is less than 8, so Rob takes the win.
