Yes, that's correct! In terms of proportional relationships, Jimmy reads 3 pages per minute, while Carlo reads 2 pages per minute. This means that Jimmy's reading rate is greater than Carlo's.
To compare their rates more clearly, we can express their reading rates as ratios:
- For Jimmy: 3 pages/min
- For Carlo: 2 pages/min
To see how much faster Jimmy reads compared to Carlo, we can set up a ratio:
\[
\text{Ratio of Jimmy's rate to Carlo's rate} = \frac{3 \text{ pages/min}}{2 \text{ pages/min}} = \frac{3}{2}
\]
This means that for every 2 pages Carlo reads in one minute, Jimmy reads 3 pages. In terms of proportions, Jimmy reads \( \frac{3}{2} \) times the number of pages that Carlo reads in the same amount of time. Thus, Jimmy's reading speed is 1.5 times faster than Carlo's.
