Question

Farmer Janet can plant 9 feet of carrots in 15 minutes while her daughter Amy can plant 17 feet of carrots in half an hour. Which farmer plants carrots more quickly?

Answer 1

Farmer Janet can plant carrots more quickly.

Explanation:

If we added 15 more minutes to Farmer Janet's time to equal the same amount as her daughter. We would also have to double the amount of carrots she can plant which totals out to 18 carrots which is 1 more carrot more than her daughter. I hope this helps:)
