Answer:

The rate of Krystal is higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that they earned P points in the game

then the rate of Quan = [tex]\frac{P}{45}[/tex]

and the rate of Krystal = [tex]\frac{P}{30}[/tex]

∵[tex]\frac{1}{30}>\frac{1}{45}[/tex] (if two fractions have same numerator then the greatest fraction which has the smallest denominator)

∴ The rate of Krystal is higher than the rate of Quan

* To be sure let P = 90 as an example

The rate of Quan = 90/45 = 2 points per minute

The rate of Krystal = 90/30 = 3 points per minute

So the rate of Krystal is higher
