Answer:

student who does the most work and delivers the most work is Ben, because at the same time as Will, he can lifts more and also faster.

Explanation

Will = 10/60 seconds (a minute)

which means in 6 seconds, he can lifts 1 time

Ben = 10/10 second

which means in 1 seconds, he can lifts 1 time

equal to 60 times per minute
