Question

Luis fonsi typed for 12 minutes at a constant rate of 50 words per minute Miss greatest types the same numbers of words in a constant rate of 60 words per minute how many minutes did it take Miss grade to type the same amount of Miss Frost

Answer 1

If the first writer types 50 words per minute for 12 minutes, we tipes

`50 \frac{\text{words}}{\text{minute}} * 12 \text{ minutes} = 50* 12 \text{ words} = 600 \text{ words}`

The second writer types the same amount of words at 60 words per minute, so it will take her

`\frac{600 \text{ words}}{60\frac{\text{words}}{\text{minute}}} = 10\text{ minutes}`

Answer 2

Luis: 50 words per minute x 12 minutes = 600 words

Miss: 60 words per minute x _____minutes

Miss = Luis

60x = 600

`(60)/(60)`x =
`(600)/(60)`

x = 10

Answer: 10 minutes
