Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Josh's time per flyer

To find the time per flyer for Josh, we divide the total time by the number of flyers. Josh spent 63 minutes on 9 flyers, so we calculate $\frac{63}{9} = 7$ minutes per flyer.

Step2: Calculate Bill's time per flyer

For Bill, he spent 20 minutes on 5 flyers. So we do $\frac{20}{5} = 4$ minutes per flyer.

Step3: Calculate Michael's time per flyer

Michael spent 48 minutes on 8 flyers. Thus, $\frac{48}{8} = 6$ minutes per flyer.

Step4: Determine who worked the fastest

The person with the least time per flyer worked the fastest. Comparing 7 (Josh), 4 (Bill), and 6 (Michael), Bill has the lowest time per flyer.

Answer:

Time spent per flyer by Josh: 7 minutes
Time spent per flyer by Bill: 4 minutes
Time spent per flyer by Michael: 6 minutes
The person who worked the fastest: Bill
