Answer:

You can solve 1.2 word problems per minutes

Explanation:

If 6 word problems were solved in 5 minutes, you must put this into a fraction. We're looking for how many word problems could be solved per minute, so we divide 5 by itself to get 1 and whatever you do to the bottom, you must do to the top, so 6 divided by 5 is 1.2

Hope this helped ;)
