Question

Marcu can type 40 word in half a minute. Rhy can type 100 word in one and a half minute. Which tudent can type at a greater rate of word per minute?

Answer 1

`\fbox{Marcus}`

A minute has 60 seconds and Marcus is able to type 40 words per 30 seconds.

In a minute(60 seconds), Marcus can type 80 words. If you add another 30 seconds(one and a half minutes), Marcus can type 120 words per minute. Rhys is able to type 100 words in one and a half minutes which is less than Marcus' speed which is 120 words per one and a half minutes.
