Robots X, Y, and Z each assemble components at their respective constant rates. If \(r_x\) is the ratio of Robot X's constant rate to Robot Z's constant rate and \(r_y\) is the ratio of Robot Y's constant rate to Robot Z's constant rate, is Robot Z's constant rate the greatest of the three?
(1) \(r_x<r_y\)
(2) \(r_y<1\)
Solution:
We are given that r_x = the ratio of robot X’s constant rate to robot Z’s constant rate. If we let A = the rate of robot X and C = the rate of robot Z, we can say:
A/C
