Answer:

Pat will not be able to enter the contest because his grubby fingers can only type 40 words per minute, not 50.

Explanation:

15 seconds - 10 words.

30 seconds - 20 words.

45 seconds - 30 words.

60 seconds - 40 words.

Pat lost the contest and was hauled out by security guards.

No

Then you get4 once you divide and you multiply that by ten getting you 40

he will type 40 words in a minute
