Two classmates got together over the weekend to do their assigned History reading. Tess can read 1 page per minute, while Ronald can read 4 pages per minute. When they met, Tess had already read 51 pages, and Ronald had already gotten through 15 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?

Respuesta :

Let the number of minutes be x.

Tess = 51 + 1x
Ronald = 15 + 4x

When both read the same number of pages :
51 + 1x = 15 + 4x
3x = 36
x = 12

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The had read the books for 12 minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tess:

1 mins = 1 page
12 mins = 1 x 12 = 12 pages

He has read 12 pages

Ronald :

1 min = 4 pages
12 mins = 4 x 12 = 48 pages

He has read 48 pages


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tess had read 12 pages and Ronald has read 48 pages during that 12 minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.

During 12 minutes, Tess read total 12 pages while Ronald read total 48 pages.

Let us consider the number of minutes be x.

Given that:

Tess = 51 + 1x

Ronald = 15 + 4x

When both read the same number of pages :

51 + 1x = 15 + 4x

3x = 36

x = 12

So, it took 12 minutes for both to read the same number of pages.

Now, for calculation of number of pages each one read:

Tess:

1 minute = 1 page

12 minutes = 1 x 12 = 12 pages

Total number of pages read by Tess is 12.

Ronald :

1 minute = 4 pages

12 minutes = 4 x 12 = 48 pages

Total number of pages read by Ronald is 48.
