Step-by-step explanation:

In the morning a farm worker packer 3 pints of strawberries every 4 minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour. This means that the farm worker's packing rates in pints per hour in the morning would be

(60 * 3) / 4 = 45 pints per hour.

In the afternoon she packed 2 pints of strawberries every 3 minutes. This means that the farm worker's packing rates in pints per hour in the afternoon would be

(60 * 2) / 3 = 40 pints per hour.

The difference between her morning and afternoon packing rates in pints per hour is

45 - 40 = 5 pints per hour

It would be 3 pints to 4 minutes and the afternoon 2 pints to 3 minutes.
