    To work out how long each student will take:

    Alex:

    60 pages / 12 pages = 5 lots of 12 pages

    5 lots multiplied by 10 mins = 50 mins

    It will take Alex 50 minutes to finish the book

    Jenna:

    60 pages / 15 pages = 4 lots of 15 pages

    4 lots multiplied by 12 mins = 48 mins

    It will take Jenna 48 minutes to finish the book

    Therefor Jenna will finish the book first
