Question

If I can type 480 words in 12 minutes how many can I type in 18

Answer 1

To determine how many words you can type in 18 minutes, we can use a simple proportion:

If you can type 480 words in 12 minutes, then the rate at which you type is 480 words / 12 minutes = 40 words per minute.

Now, we can use this rate to calculate how many words you can type in 18 minutes:

Words typed = Rate × Time

Words typed = 40 words/minute × 18 minutes

Words typed = 720 words

Therefore, you can type approximately 720 words in 18 minutes.

Answer 2

720

Explanation:

Because 480 are typed in 12 minutes, we know that 240 would be typed in 6 minutes. So, we can add 240 to 480, and we have the rate for 18 minutes.
