To calculate the number of pages each person can read in a day, we need to calculate the product of their book's number of pages and the percentage they can read.
Allen can read 15% of his 56-page book:
15% of 56 = 0.15 * 56 = <<0.15*56=8.4>>8.4 pages.
Kevin can read 12% of his 64-page book:
12% of 64 = 0.12 * 64 = <<0.12*64=7.68>>7.68 pages.
Roneisha can read 16% of her 42-page book:
16% of 42 = 0.16 * 42 = <<0.16*42=6.72>>6.72 pages.
Ben can read 10% of his 72-page book:
10% of 72 = 0.10 * 72 = 7.2 pages.
To find the person who can read the greatest number of pages in a day, we compare the results:
Allen: 8.4 pages
Kevin: 7.68 pages
Roneisha: 6.72 pages
Ben: 7.2 pages
Therefore, Allen can read the greatest number of pages in a day.
The number of pages that Allen, Kevin, Roneisha, and Ben can read in a day is shown below.
Allen read 15% of his 56-page book.
Kevin read 12% of his 64-page book.
Roneisha read 16% of his 42-page book.
Ben read 10% of his 72-page book.
