Clarke makes 27 party favors in 4 hours. Carolynn makes 35 party favors in five

hours. Who is faster? What is the difference in hourly rate between the two?

Carolyne is faster

0.25 party favors per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly rate of Clarke will be given by dividing the total favors he makes by the hours taken. In this case 27/4=6.75 party favors per hour.

Similarly, for Carolyn, the hourly rate will be 35/5 = 7 party fovors per hour. Evidently, 6.75 is less than 7 to mean Carolyn's hourly rate is better than that of Clarke. Conclusively, Carolyne is faster.

The difference in hourly rates

As already calculated, Carolyne's hourly rate is 7 favors per hour while Clarkes rate is 6.75 favors per hour so the difference is 7-6.75=0.25 party favors per hour.
