Question

You paint 3/2 of a wall in 1/2 hour. Your dad paints 3/4 of a wall the same size in 1/4 hour. How do your rates compare?
A. I paint 1/4 as fast as my dad does.
B. My dad paints half as fast as i do.
C. My dad paints twice as fast as I do.
D. I paint twice as fast as my dad does.

Answer 1

I'm going to put the problem in different words.

You paint 1.5 wall in 0.5 hour

1.5/0.5 = 3

Your dad paints 0.75 wall in 0.25 hour

0.75/0.25 = 3

That's my interpretation of it, but i must be missing something.

Answer 2

@joshawad What am I doing wrong?

Answer 3

1 1/2 of a wall in 1/2 and hour 30 minutes 3/4 in 15 minutes
so u are getting more done

Answer 4

oh idk

Answer 5

But the question is asking about rates. The rate is the division of wall over time as far as I am aware. XD this is confusing.

Answer 6

I don't do rates
