Answer 1

To find the constant of proportionality, we divide the number of pages read by the number of minutes it takes to read them.

For Jimmy, we divide 48 pages by 8 minutes:
48/8 = 6

For Carlo, we divide 42 pages by 6 minutes:
42/6 = 7

Therefore, Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute and Carlo reads 7 pages per minute.

The correct answer is: Jimmy reads 6 pages per minute. Carlo reads 7 pages per minute.
