Answer :
Final answer:
Carl, despite starting to read 30 minutes later than Flo, finishes the 500-page book faster due to his higher reading speed.
Explanation:
The question is basically asking to find out who will finish reading the book first. To solve this, we need to figure out the time each person takes to read the entire book. Flo, reading one page per minute, will take 500 minutes to finish. Carl, reading one page every 50 seconds, will take 500*50 seconds to finish which equals to about 416.67 minutes. Even though Carl starts 30 minutes later, since he reads faster, he will still finish before Flo. Carl effectively starts reading at minute 30 (1:30) and finishes at minute 446.67 (around 4:16), while Flo starts at minute 0 (1:00) and finishes at minute 500 (around 4:20).
