To determine which student reads faster and by how much, we can calculate the reading rates (pages per hour) for both students.
For Student 1 (from the graph):
- From the graph:
- At 1 hour: 10 pages
- At 2 hours: 20 pages
- At 3 hours: 30 pages
- At 4 hours: 40 pages
- At 5 hours: 50 pages
The rates can be calculated as follows:
- From 0 to 1 hour: 10 pages / 1 hour = 10 pages/hour
- From 1 to 2 hours: 20 pages / 1 hour = 10 pages/hour
- From 2 to 3 hours: 30 pages / 1 hour = 10 pages/hour
- From 3 to 4 hours: 40 pages / 1 hour = 10 pages/hour
- From 4 to 5 hours: 50 pages / 1 hour = 10 pages/hour
Overall, Student 1 reads at a consistent rate of 10 pages per hour.
For Student 2 (from the table):
- From the table:
- At 2 hours: 30 pages
- At 3 hours: 45 pages
- At 4 hours: 60 pages
The rates can be calculated as:
- From 2 to 3 hours: (45 - 30) pages / (3 - 2) hours = 15 pages/hour
- From 3 to 4 hours: (60 - 45) pages / (4 - 3) hours = 15 pages/hour
Overall, Student 2 reads at a rate of 15 pages per hour.
Comparison:
- Student 1: 10 pages/hour
- Student 2: 15 pages/hour
Therefore, Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
The correct response is: Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
