Question

Josh and Jake are both helping to build a brick wall which is 6 meters in height. They each lay 250 bricks, but Josh finishes this task in 3 hours while Jake requires 4.5 hours to complete his part. Who does more work, or do they both do the same amount? Who has more power? Explain.

Answer 1

Each laid 250 bricks but while Jake was still working, Josh was lounging in the shade. Josh has more power but that power was only on for 3 hours out of 4.5. Obviously Josh could get more done is less time as long as he keeps working. Jake will get the hang of it soon.
