Question

1) * A reads 60 pages an hour, while B reads 40. If both read for 6 hours, what is the average
number of pages per person per hour? If each reads 400 pages, how will the answer change?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As A reads 60 pages and B reads 40 pages an hour, the total no. of pages they read in an hour are 100 (60 + 40). Hence, the average number of pages per person per hour is 100/2 = 50. Note: In this case, the total number of pages read doesn't matter as the number of pages read by each in an hour remains constant
