Question

Kimberly can paint 8.5 ft.² in half an hour Jody can paint 12 ft.² in 40 minutes who is the faster painter

Answer 1

For this case we can calculate the following ratio:

Kimberly

`(8.5ft^2)/(30\min)=0.283(ft^2)/(\min )`

Jody

`(12ft^2)/(40\min)=0.3(ft^2)/(\min )`

therefore the best answer for this case is:

Jody
