Answer:

A. There is no table to be able to answer.

B. There is no table to be able to answer.

C. 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Ross started with 25 and Rachel started with 16.  When you subtract the two you get 9.  This means Ross has 9 more fossils than Rachel does from the start.  They collect the same amount each day so Ross will continue to stay 9 fossils ahead.  To get the answer you would take 55-9.  Rachel has 46 fossils when Ross has 55.
