Question

Sam,Deshaun,and Jim made flyers last Friday.The table below shows the number of flyers each person made and how much each person spent. Write the time spent per flyer for each person. Then determine who worked the fastest.

Answer 1

To calculate the time spent, divide the time spent by the number of flyers:

Sam:

Time spent per flyer = total time / number of flyers = 30 /5 = 6 minutes per flyer

Deshaun = 28 /4 = 7 minutes per flyer

Jim = 56/7 = 8 minutes per flyer

The person who worked the fastest is the one that spent less time per flyer.

6 < 7 < 8

Sam worked the fastest ( 6 min per flyer)
