Calculate time per bush: Calculate the time per bush for the first gardener.Reasoning: Divide the total time by the number of bushes.Calculation: 48 minutes ÷8 bushes = 6 minutes per bush.
Compare gardener times: Calculate the time per bush for the second gardener.Reasoning: Divide the total time by the number of bushes.Calculation: 16 minutes ÷4 bushes = 4 minutes per bush.
Determine fastest gardener: Calculate the time per bush for the third gardener.Reasoning: Divide the total time by the number of bushes.Calculation: 45 minutes ÷9 bushes = 5 minutes per bush.
Determine fastest gardener: Calculate the time per bush for the third gardener.Reasoning: Divide the total time by the number of bushes.Calculation: 45 minutes ÷9 bushes = 5 minutes per bush. Determine who trimmed bushes the fastest.Reasoning: Compare the time per bush for each gardener.Calculation: The second gardener has the lowest time per bush.
