Answer 1

Jacob's Reading Log
Time (h) 2 3.5 5 7
Pages read 42 73.5 105 147

Answer 2

For Jacob, use points (5,105) and (7, 147) to get Jacob's average rate of speed.

(147 - 105) / (7-5) = Jacob's average number of pages per hour.

Answer 3

Now, for Don.

Answer 4

Use points (6,108) and (4,72) to get Don's average number of pages per hour.

(108 - 72)/(6-4) = ?
