Answer 1

Typing of 28 words in 2/3 of a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one can type and average rate of 42 words per minute, let's confirm how many words one can type in 2/3 and 3/2 of a minute;

`\begin{gathered} 42words\Rightarrow1\text{minute} \\ x\Rightarrow(2)/(3)of\text{ a minute} \\ x=42\ast(2)/(3)=14\ast2=28\text{ words} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 28 words can be typed in 2/3 of a minute.
