Answer:

176 words

Explanation:

1) well we want to find the amount of words we'd be able to type in 4 minutes. so, what i did was:

44 words = x

1 minutes = 4 minutes

2) now look at how i set up the proportion, notice how i left a variable of x for the value i didn't know.

3) we also know that 1 times 4 is 4, so it'd also make sense to also multiply the numerator by 4 too!!

4) multiplying 44 by 4 would get us our answer which is 176

im not the best at math but i this explanation helped <33
