Question

rudy and elizabeth both deliver the daily read newspaper to homes in different neighborhoods. rudy delivered 220 newspapers in 55 minutes. elizabeth delivered 135 newspapers in 45 minutes. who delivered newspapers at a faster rate?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Rudy's delivery rate

Rate = $\frac{\text{Number of newspapers}}{\text{Time in minutes}}$
$\text{Rudy's rate} = \frac{220}{55} = 4$ newspapers per minute

Step2: Calculate Elizabeth's delivery rate

$\text{Elizabeth's rate} = \frac{135}{45} = 3$ newspapers per minute

Step3: Compare the two rates

$4 > 3$, so Rudy's rate is faster.

Answer:

Rudy delivered newspapers at a faster rate.
