Answer 2

You would divide the pages read by the time....this will give you the unit rate...

Paula's:

\(\huge{\frac{64}{2}=?}\) \(\huge{\frac{112}{3.5}=?}\)

You would do it twice to see if it is that unit rate....

Rachel's:

\(\huge{\frac{85}{2.5}=?}\) \(\huge{\frac{136}{4}=?}\)

Answer 3

Ok sorry for responding later than expected, websites really laggy for me but anyway 64/2 is 32. 112/3.5 is 32 as well. 85/2.5 is 34 and 136/4 is 34 as well. Meaning that Rachel reads more than Paula, so Paula does 32 and Rachel does 34. Am I correct?
