in the morning, a farm worker packed 3 pints of strawberries every 4 minutes. In the afternoon, she packed 2 pints of strawberries every 3 minutes. What was the difference between the packing rates, in pints per hour?

In the morning
(3/4)(strawberries/minutes)*(60/1)(minutes /hours)=45 (strawberries/hours)in the afternoon
2/3 strawberries/minutes*60/1 minutes/hours =40 strawberries/hours
The difference Between Your morning And Afternoon packing rates in pints per hour is 45-40=5 strawberries/hours
