Step-by-step explanation:

John: 1 center for every 3 arrows

Ryan: 2 centers for every 5 arrows

12                                4

15                                5

18                                 6

21                                7

24                               8

Ryan

Total arrows              Centers

5                                  2

10                                 4

15                                 6

20                                8

25                               10

30                               12

It takes 30 arrows from John to hit 10 centers, but it only takes 25 arrows for Ryan to hit 10 centers. Ryan hits 10 centers before John.
