Josh and jake are both helping to build a brick wall which is 6 meters in height. They each lay 250 bricks, but josh finishes this task in 3 hours while jake requires 4.5 hours to complete his part. Who does more work, or do they both do the same amounth? Who has more power? Explain.

Each laid 250 bricks but while Jake was
still working, Josh was lounging in the
shade. Josh has more power but that
power was only on for 3 hours out of 4.5.
Obviously Josh could get more done is less
time as long as he keeps working. Jake will
get the hang of it soon.
