50 POINT QUESTION. ANSWER AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER. IF NOT, YOU GET REPORTED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

In the morning, a farm worker packed 3 pints of strawberries every 4 minutes. In the afternoon, she packed 2 pints of strawberries every 3 minutes. What was the difference between her morning and afternoon packing rates, in pints per hour?

A. 5
B. 10
C. 40
D. 45

Answer 1

A. 5
her morning packing rate was 45 pints per hour.
her afternoon packing rate was 40 pints per hour.

Edit:
By dividing 60 by 4, you get 15, so multiply 15 by 3, this gives you 45.
By dividing 60 by 3, you get 20, so multiply 20 by 2, this gives you 40

Answer 2

3 pints every 4 minutes = ? pints every 60 minutes.
2 pints every 3 minutes = ? pints every 60 minutes.

For the first one, just divide 60/4. That is 15. 15*3 = 45, so 45 pints every hour.

Do the same process for the second equation. (60/3) * 2 = 40

Finally, 45-40=5.

The answer is A.

Hope that helps!
