Sammie read at the rate of 25 pages per hour. Alex read at the rate of 1/2 of a pages per minute. Who was reading faster? By how many pages per hour faster?

Alex is reading faster by 5 more pages per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex's rate of reading is 1/2 pages per minute, or 1 page every 2 minutes. To convert his rate to pages per hour, we can divide 60 (minutes in an hour) by 2 (minutes it takes Alex to read a page) which is equal to 30 (pages read in an hour). Therefore, Alex is reading at 30 pages an hour and reading 5 more pages an hour than Sammie.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
