Question is Incomplete;Complete question is given below;

It takes Maya 30 minutes to solve 5 logic puzzles and it takes Amy 28 minutes to solve 4 logic puzzles use models to show the rate at which each student solves the puzzles in minutes per puzzle.

Answer:

The rate at which Maya solve the puzzle is 6 minutes per puzzle.

The rate at which Amy solve the puzzle is 7 minutes per puzzle.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of minutes used by Maya to complete 5 puzzles = 30 mins

Number of minutes used by Amy to complete 4 puzzles = 28 mins

We need to find the rate at which each student solve the puzzles in minutes per puzzle.

Solution;

First we will find rate to solve the puzzle for Maya:

Now we know that;

5 puzzles = 30 minutes

1 puzzle = Number of minutes required to solve 1 puzzle.

Using Unitary method we get;

Number of minutes required to solve 1 puzzle =
(30)/(5)=6\ mins

Hence we can say that;

The rate at which Maya solve the puzzle is 6 minutes per puzzle.

Now we will find rate to solve the puzzle for Amy:

Now we know that;

4 puzzles = 28 minutes

1 puzzle = Number of minutes required to solve 1 puzzle.

Using Unitary method we get;

Number of minutes required to solve 1 puzzle =
(28)/(4)=7\ mins

Hence we can say that;

The rate at which Amy solve the puzzle is 7 minutes per puzzle.
