Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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?

What are the new enhancements to the Confluence mobile app?

If A and B both read for 6 hours,

A reads a total of 360 pages (60 x 6)

B reads a total of 240 pages (40 x 6).

Thus, in all they read 600 pages (360 + 240). That makes it 300 pages per person.

Dividing it by 6 hours, the average number of pages per person per hour is 50.

If each reads 400 pages,

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.
