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
