Answer 2

Answer:

She  typed 15 words in 1 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of word typed each minute, we can just use proportion to solve this;

1125 words = 15 minutes

    x               = 1 minute

cross multiply

1125 = 15x

To get the value of x, divide both-side of the equation by 15x

$\frac{1125}{15}$   =  $\frac{15x}{15}$

(At the left-hand side of the equation 1125 will be divided by 15 while at the right-hand side of the equation 15  on the numerator will cancel-out the 15 on the denominator leaving us with x)

$\frac{1125}{15}$    =   x

75 = x

x = 75 words

Therefore, she typed 75 words in 1 minute.
