Sam and Jimmica have both taken a speed-reading class and have been assigned to read a 300-page novel. Jimmica started reading at noon and read 10 pages per minute. Sam was on page 62 at noon and read 8 pages per minute. Will Jimmica ever cath up to Sam? PLEASE HELP

Nope she won't, first you have to set up the equations,
Okay for Sam it's; 62 + 8m = 300 (m being minutes)
for Jimmica it's; 10m = 300
So if you solve for "m" you will find out that it will take Sam 29.75 more minutes to finish while it would take Jimmica 30 minutes.
Hope it helps :)
okay, because i cant answer this for you. ill tell you how. first, write 62 on the paper
write 0 under that. jimmica read 10 pages per minute and sam read 8 per minute so for each minute add 10 for jimmicas and 8 to sams. untill they match! yay hope i helped!!!
If my math is correct, Jimmica will catch up to Sam at 270 pages exactly.
i think she won't
she'll take 30 mins to finish the book while Sam will take 29 and 1/4th..
she would've caught up at the 31st minute though...
no but if there was 310 pages they both would have finished reading them at the same time
