tom reads at an average rate of 30 pages per hour , while jan reads at an average rate of 41 pages per hour . if tom starts reading a novel at 3 : 20 , and jan begins reading an identical copy of the same book at 4 : 26 , at what time will they be reading the same page ?
since tom reads an average of 1 page every 2 minutes , tom will read 33 pages in the first 66 minutes . jan can catch tom at a rate of 11 pages per hour , so it will take 3 hours to catch tom . the answer is c .
divide(add(4, divide(multiply(add(subtract(4, 3), divide(subtract(26, 20), const_60)), 30), subtract(41, 30))), 26)
