Question

Malcolm took 18 minutes to do 15 math problems. Diedra took 17 minutes to do 16 math problems. Which student did more problems per minute?

Answer 1

The student that did more maths problems per minute is Diedra.

In order to determine which student did more maths problems per minute, the rate of each student has to be determined. Rate is the total questions solved divided by the time.

Rate = total questions / total time

Malcolm = 15 / 18 = 0.833 problems per minute

Diedra = 16/ 17 = 0.941 problems per minute
