    In this question, Maggie's home computer has greater download rate of megabytes in each minute.

    Explanation:

    Maggie's home computer downloads 7-megabyte program in 5/6 minute

    => In each minute, it can download a program with: 7 / 5 x 6 = 8.4 megabytes

    Similarity, Brooke's home computer downloads 9-megabyte program in 1 1/4 minute (1 1/4 minute = 5/4 minute)

    => In each minute, it can download a program with: 9/5 x 4 = 7.2 megabytes

    As 8.4 > 7.2

    So that Maggie's home computer has greater download rate of megabytes in each minute.
