a) Jasmine can read 120 words per minute
Jasmine reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken
Jasmine reading unit rate = 120 words / 1 minute = 120 words per minute
b) It takes Scott one minute to read 130 words
Scott reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken
Scott reading unit rate = 130 words / 1 minute = 130 words per minute
