To compare how much time Marco and Maribella spend on homework per day, we can calculate the average time spent per day based on the data provided.

**Marco’s Homework:**
- For 3 days: 3.25 hours → average = 3.25 / 3 = 1.083 hours/day
- For 9 days: 9.75 hours → average = 9.75 / 9 = 1.083 hours/day
- For 12 days: 13.0 hours → average = 13.0 / 12 ≈ 1.083 hours/day
- For 30 days: 32.5 hours → average = 32.5 / 30 ≈ 1.083 hours/day

Marco has a consistent average of approximately 1.083 hours spent per day on homework.

**Maribella’s Homework:**
- For 4 days: 4.2 hours → average = 4.2 / 4 = 1.05 hours/day

- For 20 days: 21.0 hours → average = 21.0 / 20 = 1.05 hours/day
- For 28 days: 29.4 hours → average = 29.4 / 28 ≈ 1.05 hours/day

Maribella also has a consistent average of approximately 1.05 hours spent per day on homework.

**Comparison:**
