1. The problem involves comparing different reading speeds given in pages per hour: 0.08, 0.25, 12.5, and 25 pages per hour. 2. To understand these speeds, we can analyze how long it takes to read one page at each speed using the formula: $$\text{Time per page} = \frac{1}{\text{Speed in pages per hour}}$$ This formula tells us the number of hours needed to read one page. 3. Calculate the time per page for each speed: - For 0.08 pages per hour: $$\text{Time} = \frac{1}{0.08} = 12.5 \text{ hours per page}$$ - For 0.25 pages per hour: $$\text{Time} = \frac{1}{0.25} = 4 \text{ hours per page}$$ - For 12.5 pages per hour: $$\text{Time} = \frac{1}{12.5} = 0.08 \text{ hours per page}$$ - For 25 pages per hour: $$\text{Time} = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04 \text{ hours per page}$$ 4. Interpretation: - A speed of 0.08 pages per hour means it takes 12.5 hours to read one page, which is very slow. - A speed of 0.25 pages per hour means it takes 4 hours per page. - A speed of 12.5 pages per hour means it takes 0.08 hours (about 5 minutes) per page. - A speed of 25 pages per hour means it takes 0.04 hours (about 2.4 minutes) per page. This shows the inverse relationship between speed and time per page. Final answer: The time to read one page at each speed is: $$\boxed{12.5, 4, 0.08, \text{ and } 0.04 \text{ hours per page}}$$
