In order to calculate how many words can you type in 1 minute we you use the rule of 3 to calculate the amount of words as follows:

you can type 600 words in 12 minutes therefore;

if 600 words____________________12 minutes

x_____________________1 minute

Therefore, the calculation would be:

x=words you can type in 1 minute

x=(600 words*1 minute)/12 minutes

x=50

Therefore, you can type a number of 50 words in 1 minute
