Question

Are these rates equivalent, 96 words typed for 3 minutes; 160 words typed for 5 minutes

Answer 1

Greetings

Answer:

Yes, they are.

Explanation:

1st rate)

Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.

(m is minutes)

3m = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

`(3m)/(3) = (96)/(3)`

m = 32

So the rate is 32 words per minute.

2nd rate

5m = 160

Divide both sides by 5:

`(5m)/(5) = (160)/(5)`

m = 32

So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.

Hope this helps!
