Hey there!

The answer to your question is Crew A

We can find this by first finding the unit rate, or acres per hour. We can divide the amount of acres by the amount of hours.

Crew A : 6/7.5 = 0.8 acres per hour

Crew B : 4.5/6 = 0.75 acres per hour

With the data above, we can see that Crew A is faster.

Hope it helps and have an amazing day! Remember, You've got this!
