Farmer Janet can plant 5 feet of carrots in 15 minutes while her daughter Amy can plant 15 feet of carrots in half an hour. Which farmer plants carrots more quickly? Why? What is each farmer's rate in carrots per hour?

9514 1404 393

  Amy is faster

  Janet: 20 ft/h; Amy: 30 ft/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate in feet per hour, divide feet by hours.

  Janet's rate = (5 ft)/(15/60 h) = 20 ft/h

  Amy's rate = (15 ft)/(1/2 h) = 30 ft/h

Amy plants more quickly, because 30 > 20.

b because it contains 40% of the possible results from the random list.  

0,1,2,3 v 4,5,6,7,8,9  

4 integers to 6 integers  

40% success vs 60% fail
