tom reads at an average rate of 30 pages per hour , while jan reads at an average rate of 37 pages per hour . if tom starts reading a novel at 4 : 00 , and jan begins reading an identical copy of the same book at 4 : 56 , at what time will they be reading the same page ?
"since tom reads an average of 1 page every 2 minutes , tom will read 28 pages in the first 56 minutes . jan can catch tom at a rate of 7 pages per hour , so it will take 4 hours to catch tom . the answer is d ."
divide(add(4, divide(multiply(add(subtract(4, 4), divide(subtract(56, 00), const_60)), 30), subtract(37, 30))), 56)
