1. on saturday, elena read 40% of a 225 - page book. that day, jada read 45% of a 200 - page book. who read more pages that day? explain or show your reasoning.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Elena's pages

First, convert 40% to a decimal: $40\% = 0.4$. Then multiply by the total pages of her book:
$0.4 \times 225 = 90$

Step2: Calculate Jada's pages

Convert 45% to a decimal: $45\% = 0.45$. Multiply by the total pages of her book:
$0.45 \times 200 = 90$

Step3: Compare the two values

Compare the number of pages each read:
$90 = 90$

Answer:

Elena and Jada read the same number of pages (90 pages each) that day.
