Teresa: pages per hour

Since Teresa uses the graph - you can translate that to what Elaine is using.  X is Time and Y is Pages read

anonymous · Answer

if easier, just take one point from each graph to determine pages per hour

anonymous · Answer

Elaine - 84 pgs in 3 hours = 84/3 = 28
Teresa 48 pgs in 2 hours = 48/2 = 24

anonymous · Answer

So you can get # of pages PER hour...
They give you TOTAL pages read and the time - divide to get the pages PER hour
