Accepted Solution
A:
we know that Peter has already delivered 2 pizzas in 5 minutes so 1 hour-------> 60 minutes time left------> 60 minutes - 5 minutes--------> 55 minutes
pizzas to deliver to beat his previous record----------> 20-2------> 18 pizzas
therefore in the next 55 minutes
if the
average per minute = (18/55) pizzas /minute Pete beat his previous record
average per minute > (18/55) pizzas /minute Pete overcome the previous record
average per minute < (18/55) pizzas /minute Pete will not match the previous record
