Solution:

Note that:

  • Typist = 1700 words = 1 hour 30 minutes

Simplify the equation to find the word per minute.

  • => 1700 words = 1 hour 30 minutes
  • => 1700 words = 90 minutes
  • => 170/9 words = 1 minute

The word per minute is 170/9 words per minute.

Typist =
1700

words = 1 hour
30 minutes

Lets, find the word per minute :


1700 words =
1hour 30 minutes


1700 words =
90 minutes


(170)/(9) words =
1 minute

The word per minute is
(170)/(9) words per minute.
