Answer:

• We are gonna use the quotient rule

- u is (3√x + 2x)
- v is 4x²
- du/dx is 3/2√x
- dv/dx is 8x
• Therefore:

rate of blowing balloons of Alexa = 15/20 = 0.75
rate of blowing balloons of Sara = 18/25 = 0.72
rate of blowing balloons of Shirley= 16/21 = 0.76
rate of blowing balloons of Sam = 12/23 = 0.52
from above calculation we concluded Shirley can blow balloons at the fastest rate!
