Question

If Jimmy reads one page more a minute than Carlos show ratio

Answer 1

To express the reading rates of Jimmy and Carlos as a ratio, let's define their reading rates as follows:

- Let \( c \) be the number of pages Carlos reads per minute.
- Since Jimmy reads one page more than Carlos, his reading rate would be \( c + 1 \) pages per minute.

Now, the ratio of the number of pages that Jimmy reads to the number of pages that Carlos reads can be expressed as:

\[
\text{Ratio of Jimmy to Carlos} = \frac{c + 1}{c}
\]

This fraction can also be broken down further:

\[
\text{Ratio of Jimmy to Carlos} = \frac{c + 1}{c} = 1 + \frac{1}{c}
\]

Thus, the ratio of the number of pages Jimmy reads to the number of pages Carlos reads simplifies to \( (c + 1) : c \).

If you need a specific numerical ratio, you can substitute a specific value for \( c \) (the number of pages Carlos reads per minute).
