Louis eats 18 jellybeans in 30 seconds and Max eats 24 jellybeans in 40 seconds who is eating jellybeans faster?

Question

Louis and max are in a jellybean-eating contest

Answer 1

the important question you want to ask yourself in this case is the rate at which each person is eating.

 

Louis' eating rate = 30 / 18 = 1.33 jellybeans per sec

 

 

Max's rate = 40 / 24 = 1.66 jellybeans per  sec

 

 

Max eats faster
