Answer 1

Correct Question :

Saima can blow 15 ballons in 20 minutes. Sara can blow 18 balloons in 25 minutes, Ahmed can blow 16 balloons in 21 minutes and Bilal can blow 12 balloons in 23 minutes assuming that all balloons are blown to the same size, who can blow at the fastest rate?

----------------------

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out how we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find who can blow the balloons at the fastest rate.
• So, to find that, we have to use the following formula :

➵ Speed = Number of Balloons/Time

Given :

• Saima can blow 15 ballons  in 20 minutes.
• Sara can blow 19 balloons in 25 minutes.
• Ahmed can blow 16 balloons in 21 minutes.
• Bilal can blow 12 balloons in  23 minutes

To find :

• who can blow at the fastest rate

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the Speed of each person.

Saima's Speed = Number of Balloons/Time

                         = 15/20

                         = 0.75

Sara's Speed = Number of Balloons/Time

                       = 18/25

                       = 0.72

Ahmed's Speed = Number of Balloons/Time

                           = 16/21

                           = 0.76

Bilal's Speed = Number of Balloons/Time

                      = 12/23

                      = 0.52

Therefore, Ahmed can blow balloons at the fastest rate.
