Answer 8

daniel collected 40 bushels of apples in 9 hours.
\[Daniel ~collected~ \in ~1~ hour=\frac{ 40 }{ 9 }~bushels\]
\[Both collected~\in~1~hour=\frac{ 40 }{ 4.95 }~bushels~of~apples.\]
Paul collected in 1 hour\[=\frac{ 40 }{ 4.95 }-\frac{ 40 }{ 9 }=40\left( \frac{ 100 }{ 495 } -\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }\right)\]
