Maryna spent less time writing per problem at the unit rate of 1 min.25 problems. 
Maryna spent less time writing per problem at the unit rate of 1 min.25 problems. 

Sonia spent more time writing per problem at the unit rate of 20 min. 1 problem. 
Sonia spent more time writing per problem at the unit rate of 20 min. 1 problem. 

Maryna spent more time writing per problem at the the unite rate of 25min.1 problem . 
Maryna spent more time writing per problem at the the unite rate of 25min.1 problem . 

Sonia spent the same amount of time as Maryna time writing per problem at the unit rate of 25 min.1 problem

Answer 1

To determine who spent more time writing per problem, we need to compare the unit rates provided for both Maryna and Sonia.

1. Maryna's rate: 1 min for 25 problems which simplifies to: \[ \frac{1 \text{ min}}{25 \text{ problems}} = 0.04 \text{ min/problem} \]

2. Sonia's rate: 20 min for 1 problem which simplifies to: \[ \frac{20 \text{ min}}{1 \text{ problem}} = 20 \text{ min/problem} \]

Now we compare the rates:

• Maryna's unit rate: \(0.04 \text{ min/problem}\)
• Sonia's unit rate: \(20 \text{ min/problem}\)

Since \(0.04\) is much less than \(20\), Maryna spent less time writing per problem, while Sonia spent significantly more time writing per problem.

Based on the responses provided:

• The correct response is "Maryna spent less time writing per problem at the unit rate of 1 min. 25 problems."
