Answer 15

Answer 16

wait was 22-18 correct?

Answer 17

Yes. Is that a subtracting sighn or a way to show the ratio?

Answer 18

but wouldnt it be 18-22 since don is first?

Answer 19

Well, are you trying to subtract? Or are you showing the ratio using -?

Answer 20

well just subtracting im taking your word that its 22-18 not 18-22

Answer 21

Wait. Why are you subtracting. I thought the question was who reads faster. Jacob reads faster since he reads 22 pages a hour.

Answer 22

Oh...well when you asked me "Jacob reads 22 pages an hour and Don reads 18 pages an hour. Jacob reads faster. Do you want to know how to get the answer? Or are you good?" I thought i had to do something additional to that but i just relized thats the answer xD sorry!

Answer 23

LOL! I'm sorry I confused you. I was asking if you would like me to show you how I got to the answer. XD

Answer 24

Oh, it's okay. I get confused a lot in math. And, yes I'd like you to show me how you got the answers please. Thanks.

Answer 25

Alright. On the graph if look for the point where it says (4,72). The reason I chose this point is because it is a whole number and easier to divide.

The Y coordinate (72) shows how many pages he read.

The X Coordinate (4) shows how many hours he read.

In order to find how many pages he read in one hour you divide 72 by 4. This should give you 18. Don read 18 pages in one hour.

Next, go to the table. Jacob read 42 pages in 2 hours. In order to find how many pages he read in one hour divide 42 by 2. You should get 21.

As you know 21>18 Therefore, Jacob read faster because he read more pages an hour.
