Answer:

13. 5 minutes

Explanation:

This is a simple proportion problem. Make two fractions where one item is always on the top and the other on the bottom.


(3 min)/(128 words) = (x min)/( 576 words)

Now, cross multiply (multiply the two numbers diagonal from each other and divide the diagonal with the x value)

576 x 3 = 1, 728

1, 728 / 128 = 13.5
