Answer 1

day?

First, let's calculate the time it took Sonny to read 100 pages in the afternoon:

100 pages / 60 pages per hour = 1.67 hours

Next, let's calculate the time it took Sonny to read 100 pages in the evening:

100 pages / 40 pages per hour = 2.5 hours

Now, let's calculate the total time Sonny spent reading:

1.67 hours + 2.5 hours = 4.17 hours

Now, let's calculate the total number of pages read:

100 pages + 100 pages = 200 pages

Finally, let's calculate the average rate of reading for the day:

200 pages / 4.17 hours ≈ 47.92 pages per hour

Sonny's average rate of reading for the day was approximately 47.92 pages per hour.
