Question

I can type 19 words in 38 seconds. How many can I type in 60 seconds?

Answer 1

38/19=2
60/2=30
you can type 30 words per minute

Answer 2

Hi!

We can solve this by setting up a proportion

$\frac{19}{38} \frac{x}{60}$

Solve for x by cross multiplying.

19 x 60 = 1140
1140/38 = 30

You can type 30 words in 60 seconds

Hope this helps! :)
