To answer the question above, evaluate the number of cookies each of them placed on a tray. The calculations are shown below,
Ronny C1 = 0.15 x 20 = 3
Celina C2 = 3
Jack C3 = 0.30 x 20 = 6
Michelle C4 = 20 - (3 + 3 + 6) = 8
From the calculation above, <em>Michelle</em> placed the most number of brownies on the tray.
1 hour = 60 minutes
60 minutes / 10 minutes = 6
So 6 times in one hour 3 buses depart.
6 x 3 = 18 total buses in an hour.
