Sagot :

a) Karim eats faster

b) Number of wings Micheal will eat = 33 wings

Number of wings Karim will eat = 36 wings

Explanation:

a) Michael eat 5.5 wings per minute

we need to find the constant rate Karim eats from the table

The constant rate = change in wings eaten/ change in time

The constant rate = (12 - 6)/(2-1) = (18-12)/(3-2)

= 6/1 = 6/1

The constant rate Karim eats = 6 wings per minute

Rate of Mcheal eating = 5.5

Rate of Karim eating = 6

Karim eats faster

Reason: Because Karim consumes more wings than Micheal when they are given same time, he will eat faster.

6 > 5.5

b) If they both ate 6 min:

Number of wings = rate × time

Number of wings Micheal will eat = 5.5 × 6 = 33 wings

Number of wings Karim will eat = 6 × 6 = 36 wings
