Sam dumps tea for

6

hours at a constant rate of

60

tea crates per hour. Eddie takes

4

hours to dump the same amount of tea at a different constant rate. How many tea crates does Eddie dump per hour?
Proposed by Samuel Tsui
Solution.

\boxed{90}

Sam dumps a total of

6 \cdot 60 = 360

tea crates and since it takes Eddie

4

hours to dump that many he dumps at a rate of

\dfrac{360}{4}= \boxed{90}

tea crates per hour.
