Question

A farmer 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 her morning and afternoon packing rates in pints per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 (strawberries / hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

calculation fro morning

strawberries / minutes  x   minutes / hours =   strawberries / hours

 so after adding the value in above equation

3/4* 60/1  = 45 strawberries / hours

 calculation in the afternoon

strawberries / minutes  x   minutes / hours =   strawberries / hours

 2/3 x 60/1  =  40 strawberries / hours

 so now by calculating difference between morning and afternoon packing rates,  you can easily calculate

 45-40 = 5 (strawberries / hours)
