Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.

Answer 1

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.
