Question

3.96 words typed in 3 minutes; 160 words typed in 5 minutes. Who is faster?

Answer 1

We have two velocities of typing, one 96 words typed in 3 minutes and other 160 words typed in 5 minutes.

To know who is faster we need to calculate the ratio word/minute for each one and select the greater, so:

`\begin{gathered} 1)\text{ }\frac{96\text{ words}}{3\text{ minutes}}=32(words)/(\min ute) \\ 2)\frac{160\text{ words}}{5\text{ minutes}}=32(words)/(\min ute) \end{gathered}`

The both are equal to 32 words/minute.
