Question

Steve types at a rate of 45 words per minute. He writes an equation relating the number of words he can type, w, to the number of minutes he spends typing, m.

w = 45m

Xena doesn’t know the number of words per minute that she can type. But she recorded the time it took her to type different numbers of words in this table.

Minutes Words
2 100
4 200
8 400
If we graphed both of these proportional relationships, the graph representing _____
typing would be steeper than the graph representing ______typing. So, _______
types more words per minute.

Answer 1

Answer:
50 words per minute
Explanation:
If in 2 minutes she can type 100, that means you must divide 100 by 2. 100 divided by 2 equals 50. You can check this by doing the same with 200 words in 4 minutes by dividing 200 by 4 to get 50. Xenas equation would be w=50m
