the answer is a, i believe

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.,

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In the morning

In every 4 minutes, Number of pints of strawberries packed= 3

In every 1 minute, number of pints of strawberries packed = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

In every 60 minutes, number of pint of strawberries packed = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 60=45[/tex]

In the afternoon ,

In every 3 minutes, Number of pints of strawberries packed = 2

In every 1 minute, number of pints of strawberries packed = [tex]\\\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

In every 60 minutes, number of pints of strawberries packed = [tex]\\\frac{2}{3}\times 60=40[/tex]

So, Difference between her morning and afternoon packing rates in pints per hour is given by

[tex]45-40=5\ pints/hr[/tex]

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
