Answer

From the calculations, we can see that only Izzy can type a minimum of 95 words in 2 minutes.

Izzy can type 98 words in 2 minutes using the rate given in the tables.

Step-by-step explanation

To know who is able to type a minimum of 95 words every 2 minutes, we need to find the number of words each person can type in 2 minutes.

Let the number of words Justin, Remmy and Izzy can type in 2 minutes be x, y and z respectively.

For Justin

135 words = 3 mins

x words = 2 mins

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

3 × x = 2 × 135

3x = 270

Divide both sides by 3

(3x/3) = (270/3)

x = 90 words

For Remmy

168 words = 4 mins

y words = 2 mins

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

4 × y = 2 × 168

4y = 336

Divide both sides by 4

(4y/4) = (336/4)

y = 84 words

For Izzy

147 words = 3 mins

z words = 2 mins

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

3 × z = 2 × 147

3z = 294

Divide both sides by 3

(3z/3) = (294/3)

z = 98 words

Hope this Helps!!!
