Question 474898: One day officer Fog spend 4hr. processing passengers from a flight from Brazil a rate of 16 passengers every 40 min. The next day, she spent 4hr. processing passengers at a rate 18 every 40min. What was the average she processed during these two 4hr. periods.

First day Officer Fog processes 16 passengers every 40 minutes.
Second day Officer Fog processed 18 passengers every 40 minutes.
4 hours * 60 = 240 minutes.
240 minutes / 40 minutes = 6.
In 4 hours, there are 6 40 minute periods.
First day Officer Fog processes 6 * 16 = 96 passengers in a 4 hour period.
Second day Officer Fog processes 6 * 18 = 108 passengers in a 4 hour period.
Total passengers processed in 8 hours is equal to 204.
Average number of passengers processed in each 4 hour period is equal to 204/2 = 102.
That should be your answer.
