Two classmates got together over the weekend to do their assigned History reading. Richard
can read 2 pages per minute, while Madelyn can read 3 pages per minute. When they met,
Richard had already read 62 pages, and Madelyn had already gotten through 30 pages. After
a while, they had both read the same number of pages. How long did that take? How many
pages had each one read?
After
minutes, Richard and Madelyn had each read
pages.
