Julio and Jake start their reading assignments the same day. Jake is reading a 152−page-book at a rate of 18 pages per day. Julio′s book is 210 pages long and his reading rate is 1 1/2 times Jake′s rate. After 7 days, who will have more pages left to read? How many more?

Respuesta :

Jake= 18 x 7
Jake= 126

Julio= 18(1.5) x 7
Julio= 27 x 7
Julio= 189

Jake= 152 - 126 = 26
Julio= 210 - 189 = 21
26 - 21 = 5

After 7 days, Jake will have 5 more pages left to read than Julio.
