7. Northside High School is having a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser. In order to
advertise, students place flyers on
neighborhood doors. Margie hands out 120
flyers in 2 hours. Jaxon hands out 18 flyers
in 15 minutes. Who is able to pass out flyers
at a faster rate? Defend your thinking.​

Answer 1

Jaxon is able to pass out flyers at a faster rate.

Explanation:

Convert the hours to minutes for both Margie and Jaxon

Margie=2*60= 120 mins

Jaxon= 15 mins

For Margie;

If in 120min = 120 flyers

then, in 15 mins she will hand out=?
`(15*120)/(120)` = 15 flyers

Jaxon, on the other hand, hands out 18 flyers within the same 15 mins and therefore passes them out at a faster rate than Margie does.
