To find out how many pages Stephen reads each week compared to Alice, we first need to determine how many pages each of them reads per week.
-
Calculate Stephen's weekly reading:
- Total pages read by Stephen: 278 pages
- Total weeks: 7 weeks
- Pages read per week by Stephen: \[ \frac{278 \text{ pages}}{7 \text{ weeks}} \approx 39.71 \text{ pages/week} \]
-
Alice's reading per week:
- Alice reads 31 pages each week.
-
Find the difference in their weekly reading:
- The difference in pages read per week: \[ 39.71 \text{ pages/week} - 31 \text{ pages/week} \approx 8.71 \text{ pages/week} \]
Therefore, Stephen reads about 8.71 pages more each week than Alice.
