Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Hans types one fewer page, he would be typing 5 pages per hour. Maria types 8 pages per hour, so Hans would save three hours for every eight hours Maria works. In three hours, Maria can do 36 loads of laundry, so Hans can do 2/3 of a load of laundry in the time saved on typing. Therefore, the answer is D.
