Question

Kevin has already read 45 pages in his novel for English. He can read roughly 20 pages each hour. Shania has only read 5 pages so far, but she reads faster and can read roughly 25 pages each hour. Write an equation for the Kevin's reading pace and then write an equation for Shania's reading pace. After 20 hours, who has read more pages?

Answer 1

kevin -> 20x+45
shania -> 25x+5

20(20)+45=445
25(20)+5=505

after 20 hours, shania has read more pages
