To determine which student reads faster, we can calculate the reading rate (pages per hour) for Student 2 using the provided data:

1. **Calculate the reading rate for Student 2:**
- For 2 hours: \( \frac{30 \text{ pages}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)
- For 3 hours: \( \frac{45 \text{ pages}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)
- For 4 hours: \( \frac{60 \text{ pages}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)

The reading rate for Student 2 is consistently **15 pages per hour**.

2. **Assuming Student 1's reading rate is extracted from the graph (not given here), let’s assume, for instance, that Student 1's rate is 25 pages per hour.** (Please replace this assumed value with actual data from the graph if available).

3. **Compare the reading rates:**
- If Student 1’s rate is assumed to be **25 pages per hour**, then we compare:
- Student 1: 25 pages per hour
- Student 2: 15 pages per hour

The difference is calculated as:
\[
25 \text{ pages/hour} - 15 \text{ pages/hour} = 10 \text{ pages/hour}
\]

From the above calculations:
- **Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.**

If you have actual reading rates for Student 1 from the graph, please adjust the calculations accordingly. But based on this assumption, the correct response would be:
**Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.**
