Answer:
Ticket Taker Tony collects more tickets per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out which ticket taker collects more tickets per minute, you need to solve for how many tickets each Ticket Taker collects per minute to compare. Since 90:5 and 128:8 are different ratios, you need to find the unit rate, or how many tickets each collects per minute. To find unit rate, you divide the numerator by the denominator:
Ticket Taker Tony: [tex]\frac{90 tickets}{5 minutes}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18 tickets}{1 minute}[/tex]
Ticket Taker Tina: [tex]\frac{128 tickets}{8 minutes}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16 tickets}{1 minute}[/tex]
Every minute, Tony collects 18 tickets, while Tina only collects 16, so Ticket Taker Tony collects more.
