Answer:

54 wpm

Explanation:

This is a simple rate word problem and all we have to do is put these two numbers into words per minute which is essentially words divided by minutes

Basically, all we have to do is divide the number of words by the minutes to get our answer

So 702 divided by 13 is 54

Jaime types with a speed of 54 words per minute

I hope I helped and have a wonderful day!
