A company is hiring people to read through all the comments posted on their website to make sure they are appropriate. four people applied for the job and were given one day to show how quickly they could check comments.

person 1 worked for 210 minutes and checked a total of 50,000 comments.
person 2 worked for 200 minutes and checked 1,325 comments every 5 minutes.
person 3 worked for 120 minutes, at a rate represented by,
where is the number of comments checked and is the time in minutes.
person 4 worked for 150 minutes, at a rate represented by.
order the people from greatest to least in terms of the total number of comments checked.
order the people from greatest to least in terms of how fast they checked the comments.

Final answer:

To order the people from greatest to least in terms of the total number of comments checked, compare the rates at which they checked comments. To order them by how quickly they checked the comments, compare their time durations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To order the people from greatest to least in terms of the total number of comments checked, we need to compare the rates at which they checked comments. Let's calculate the rates for each person:
Person 1: 50,000 comments per 210 minutes = 238.1 comments per minute
Person 2: 1,325 comments every 5 minutes = 265 comments per minute
Person 3: The rate is represented by the expression \(\frac{\text{number of comments checked}}{\text{time in minutes}}\). However, the expression is missing in the question.
Person 4: The rate is represented by the expression \(\frac{\text{number of comments checked}}{\text{time in minutes}}\). However, the expression is missing in the question.
Based on the rates calculated for person 1 and person 2, person 2 checked comments at a faster rate than person 1. However, since the rates for person 3 and person 4 are missing, we cannot determine their rankings.
To order the people from greatest to least in terms of how quickly they checked the comments, we can simply compare their time durations:
Person 2: 200 minutes
Person 4: 150 minutes
Person 3: 120 minutes
Person 1: 210 minutes
Therefore, the order from greatest to least in terms of how quickly they checked the comments is person 2, person 4, person 3, and person 1.

Final answer:

The question is incomplete as it doesn't provide enough information to calculate and order the comment checking rates for Persons 3 and 4. However, we can determine Person 2 has a higher rate than Person 1 based on the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem given falls under the category of Mathematics, specifically dealing with rate, time, and total quantity computations often found in algebra and practical math problems often encountered in high school math curricula.

  1. Person 1 worked for 210 minutes and checked a total of 50,000 comments, which gives a rate of 50,000 / 210 = 238.1 comments per minute.
  2. Person 2 worked for 200 minutes and checked 1,325 comments every 5 minutes, resulting in a rate of 1,325 / 5 = 265 comments per minute.
  3. The information for Person 3's rate is incomplete and not provided in the question.
  4. The same applies to Person 4; without complete information, we cannot calculate their rate or total number of comments checked.

With the given information, we cannot complete the ordering of all individuals. We can determine that Person 2 has the highest rate among the two whose rates were calculable.

Since the descriptions for Persons 3 and 4 are incomplete or missing, no further comparison can be made.
