Dave: 5 * 5 = 25
Lee: 6 * 4 = 24
Thank u :-)
You're welcome.
To determine who sent more emails, we need to calculate the total number of emails sent by each person and compare the results.
First, let's calculate the number of emails sent by Dave:
Dave sent 5 emails every 6 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. This means he sent 5 emails per 6-minute interval.
To find the total number of emails Dave sent, we divide 30 minutes by 6 minutes, which gives us 5 intervals.
Since Dave sent 5 emails in each 6-minute interval, we multiply 5 by 5 intervals.
Thus, Dave sent a total of 25 emails (5 emails * 5 intervals) in 30 minutes.
Next, let's calculate the number of emails sent by Lee:
Lee sent 4 emails every 5 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. This means he sent 4 emails per 5-minute interval.
To find the total number of emails Lee sent, we divide 30 minutes by 5 minutes, which gives us 6 intervals.
Since Lee sent 4 emails in each 5-minute interval, we multiply 4 by 6 intervals.
Thus, Lee sent a total of 24 emails (4 emails * 6 intervals) in 30 minutes.
Therefore, Dave sent more emails with a total of 25 emails, while Lee sent 24 emails.
