To find the rate divide the amount of time by the number of questions to get the amount of time each question took:

Kiera: 30 minutes / 6 problems = 5 minutes per problem.

Heath: 40 minutes / 18 problems = 2.22 minutes per problem.


The times per problem are different so they did not work at the same rate.
