Q. Liz and Rick are squeezing lemons for a lemonade stand. Liz squeezed 1818 lemons in 66 minutes. Rick squeezed 2424 lemons in 1212 minutes. Who squeezed lemons at a faster pace?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Liz\newline(B)Rick
  1. Calculate Liz's rate: Calculate Liz's rate of squeezing lemons.\newlineLiz's rate = Number of lemons squeezed / Time in minutes = 18 lemons6 minutes=3 lemons per minute.\frac{18 \text{ lemons}}{6 \text{ minutes}} = 3 \text{ lemons per minute}.
  2. Calculate Rick's rate: Calculate Rick's rate of squeezing lemons.\newlineRick's rate = Number of lemons squeezed / Time in minutes = 24 lemons12 minutes=2 lemons per minute.\frac{24 \text{ lemons}}{12 \text{ minutes}} = 2 \text{ lemons per minute}.
  3. Compare rates of Liz and Rick: Compare the rates of Liz and Rick. Liz's rate = 33 lemons per minute, Rick's rate = 22 lemons per minute. Since 3 > 2, Liz squeezed lemons at a faster pace.
