Answer 1

we know that

Yousef typed a $36$-word paragraph in $2/3$ minute

so

by proportion  

Find  the number of words typed in one minute

$\frac{36}{(2/3)} \frac{words}{minutes} =\frac{x}{1} \frac{words}{minute}\\ \\x=36*\frac{3}{2}\\ \\x= 54\ words$

therefore

the answer is

Yousef typing speed, in words per minute is equal to

$54\frac{words}{minute}$
