For ease of solving, let's first find the rate of Mia and Luke per minute. Since Mia can do 4 pieces every 3 minutes, then she can do 
of a piece per minute. Luke on the other hand can do 
of a piece per minute.
To find how many pieces they made, we first need to find the time it took for them to make the pieces. We assign
as the time Mia spent making origami. Since Luke spent 5 more minutes, we can denote his time as
