Question

A teacher is evaluating the typing speeds of students in the class. Carl types 108 words in 2 minutes. Max types 260 words in 5 minutes. Jason types 177 words in 3 minutes. Calculate the unit rate of words per minute for each student. Then, order the names of the students from slowest to fastest based on their typing speeds?

Answer 1

Carl: 108÷2=54 words per min.
Max: 260÷5=52 words per min.
Jason: 177÷3=59 words per min.
First: Max 52, Second: Carl 54, Third: Jason 59.

Answer 2

Carl: 108/2=54 wpm
Max: 260/5=52 wpm
Jason: 177/3=59 wpm
Jason is the fastest, then Carl, then Max.
Or
Max is the slowest, then Carl, then Jason.
