Who can read the greatest number of pages in a day?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• NO. OF PAGES READ BY ALBERT IN ONE DAY = 15/100×56=8.4
• NO. OF PAGES READ BY KEITH IN ONE DAY = 12/100×64=7.68
• NO. OF PAGES READ BY RITA IN ONE DAY = 16/100×42=6.72
• NO. OF PAGES READ BY BESS IN ONE DAY = 10/100×72=7.2

SINCE 8.4 IS THE GREATEST OF OTHER NO.'S

THEREFORE, ALBERT READS THE GREATEST...
