Answer:
Explanation:
To find out how many minutes it would take Santiago to text 37 words at the given rate of 74 words in 4 minutes, you can set up a proportion:
74 words / 4 minutes = 37 words / x minutes
Now, you can solve for x (the number of minutes it would take):
divide 74 and 4 minutes = (37/x) minutes
18.5 minutes = 37/x minutes
To isolate x, you can divide both sides by 18.5: then divide 37 and 18.5
x = 37 / 18.5x = 2
So, it would take Santiago 2 minutes to text 37 words at the given rate.
