given that:- you can cut 3 lawns in 5 hours, and your friend can cut 5 lawns in 8 hours.
it means, 3 lawns= 5 hours
1 lawn=5/3 hours
1 lawn= 1.67 hour (lawn cut by you)
5 lawns= 8 hour
1 lawn= 8/5 hour
1 lawn= 1.6 hour (lawn cut by friend)
so 1.67>1.6 so you take more time than friend
so friend cutting the lawn faster.
