Savannah and Reagan both work in a grocery store. They each stocked the same number of shelves last Saturday, but it took Reagan less time. They've been told that they'll spend their entire 4-hour shifts next Saturday stocking shelves. If their average speeds are consistent, who will likely stock more shelves next Saturday?

Answer:

Reagan

Explanation:

Since Reagan is able to stock the same number of shelves as Savannah while spending less time to do so, it means that Reagan is able to stock shelves faster than Savannah, thus Reagan is able to stock more shelves than Savannah given that their average speeds are constant and that they both work under 4-hour shifts.
