George reads starts reading at 4:30pm and reads 30 pages an hour. Sarah starts reading at 5:20pm and reads 40 pages an hour. At what time will they be reading the same page?
-----------------
In 50 mins, G has read 24 pages (30 * 5/6)
S gains on him at 10 pages per hour (40 - 30)
24/10 = 2.4 hours
5:20 + 2:24 = 7:44 PM
