Flo and Carl each must read a 500-page book. Flo reads one page every minute. Carl reads one page every 50 seconds. Flo starts reading at 1:00, and Carl starts reading at 1:30. When will Carl catch up to Flo?

Carl will catch up Flo at 4:00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Flo reads one page every minuteCarl reads one page every 50 secondsCarl starts 30 minutes lateMax number of pages = 500

Let x be the number of pages each reads when Carl catches up Flo

Then we have the time for Flo and Carl

Flo:

x pages after x minutes

Carl:

x pages after 30 + x*50/60 minutes

The time is same:

x = 30 + 50/60xx = 30 + 5/6xx - 5/6x = 301/6x = 30x = 6*30x = 180

180 minutes = 3 hours

1:00 + 3 hours = 4:00
