@nincompoop

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

let us put Dominic and Felix's rate into ratio. D = 150/25 F = 90/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divide,yes?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

now you have to simplify the ratios or fractions so that it will give us the number of marshmallows per second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Truthfully, all four answers are hilarious. It's most obvious in choice B. "Average Marshmellow Eating" is a rate or a number with units. Felix is a human. These cannot be compared. If you would like to ignore that utter silliness, just calculate the two rates and see what you get. 150 MM / 25 sec = 6 MM/sec 90 MM / 15 sec = 6 MM/sec The rates ar the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its b. wow. thanks tk and C!

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Don't let the question writer off the hook. Totally mock them for writing such a silly question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you both.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it's a mental exercise about simplifying fractions, I believe. The rest are there to put it analytically.
