Question

carrie can type 787 words in 12 minutes. and heather can type 1020 words in 15 minutes. who can type the fastest?

Answer 1

All we need to do is find out how many words they can both type per minute, WHICH we can do byyy:

Carrie:

787 / 12 = 65 (It's actually a decimal but we're just gonna keep it at 65)

Heather:

1020 / 15 = 68


SO, Heather can type 68 words per minute whereas Carrie can only type 65. Meaning Heather can type faster :D
