Mary is filling 18 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Answer 1

so look please - given that Jorge after 3 minutes had 53 cups left to be filled and after 5 minutes ,he had 25 cups left to be filled
so from this you can calcule that in these 5 - 3 = 2 minutes Jorge filled 53 -25 = 28 cups from what result that he filled 28/2 = 14 cups/minute

- so in this above wrote way please try calcule Mary how many cups left to be filled in one minute

hope helped understandably easy
