Tom reads at an average rate of 30 pages per hour, while Jan reads at an average rate of 36 pages per hour. If Tom starts reading a novel at 4:00, and Jan begins reading an identical copy of the same book at 4:48, at what time will they be reading the same page?
Select:
A) 7:18 B) 7:48 C) 8:18 D) 8:48 E) 9:18
Since Tom reads an average of 1 page every 2 minutes, Tom will read 24 pages in the first 48 minutes. Jan can catch Tom at a rate of 6 pages per hour, so it will take 4 hours to catch Tom.   The answer is 8:48.
