I'm not certain how exactly this question is supposed to be answered.

If it wants a ratio, Paul and Jennifer's speeds would be in a ratio of 3:4.

It also could be Paul types 20 words per minute slower than Jennifer.

It could be Paul types 33% slower than Jennifer.

Another answer could be Paul's typing speed is 3/4ths of Jennifer's typing speed.

Feel free to ask any further questions.
