Jimmy reads at a faster rate.
Carlo reads at a faster rate.

Answer 1

To determine who reads at a faster rate, we can compare how many pages each person reads in one minute.

Jimmy reads 48 pages in 8 minutes, so his rate is 48 pages / 8 minutes = 6 pages/minute.

Carlo reads 42 pages in 6 minutes, so his rate is 42 pages / 6 minutes = 7 pages/minute.

Since Carlo reads at a rate of 7 pages/minute, and Jimmy reads at a rate of 6 pages/minute, Carlo reads at a faster rate.
