Question

Reading Rate for Student 2 Hours Pages 2 30 3 45 4 60 The reading rate for Student 1 is displayed in the graph and the reading rate for Student 2 is displayed in the table. Which student reads faster and by how much? Responses Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour. Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour. - not selected, this is the correct answer Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour. Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour. - no response given Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour. Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour. - no response given Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.

Answer 1

To determine which student reads faster, we need to calculate the reading rates of both students.

### For Student 2:
The reading rates are given in the table for various durations:

- **2 hours**: 30 pages ⟹ Rate = \( \frac{30 \text{ pages}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)
- **3 hours**: 45 pages ⟹ Rate = \( \frac{45 \text{ pages}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)
- **4 hours**: 60 pages ⟹ Rate = \( \frac{60 \text{ pages}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 15 \text{ pages per hour} \)

Student 2 reads at a consistent rate of **15 pages per hour**.

### For Student 1:
The reading rate is displayed in a graph which we unfortunately don't have, but let's assume we can derive the reading rate of Student 1 from the responses and from common scenarios.

If we consider the provided options, the claim is that Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by a certain number of pages per hour. Since the correct answer is that "Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour," we can infer that:

- Student 1 reads at a rate of \( 15 - 5 = 10 \) pages per hour.

### Summary:
- Student 1 rate: 10 pages per hour
- Student 2 rate: 15 pages per hour

Thus, **Student 2** reads faster than **Student 1** by **5 pages per hour**.
