Question

Lisa typed a 165-word paragraph in three minutes. Use the ratio table to

determine how many minutes it will take for Lisa to type 55 words.

Answer 1

1 minute

Explanation:

We can see that Lisa types 165 words in 3 mins.

So she types 55 words in 1 minute.

How did I work that out?

Well, all you really do is
`\frac {165}{3}` which is equal to
`(55)/(1)` if you divide top and bottom by 3. Anything divided by 1 is itself.
